Burkitt lymphoma is a rare, highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma recognized within the MONDO disease ontology. The condition is associated with the MYC gene, the sole entry in this packet's known genes field. Recognized subtypes documented in this dataset include small intestinal Burkitt lymphoma (MONDO:0006416) and colon Burkitt lymphoma (MONDO:0006150), reflecting gastrointestinal site-based classification. Prevalence data are listed as unknown in this packet's prevalence field. Two FDA-approved agents are recorded in this packet for Burkitt lymphoma, and ten clinical trials are documented in ClinicalTrials.gov data, indicating active therapeutic investigation.
No structured phenotype data are recorded in this packet's phenotype field. Clinical signs and symptoms of Burkitt lymphoma are not enumerated in the available dataset. The recognized anatomic subtypes in this packet — small intestinal and colon Burkitt lymphoma — document gastrointestinal sites of disease involvement. No additional clinical feature data are present in this knowledge packet.
Burkitt lymphoma is associated with MYC, the gene recorded in this packet's known genes field. MYC appears in this packet's known_genes_with_validity list; however, no formal ClinGen gene validity classification (such as DEFINITIVE or STRONG) is provided for MYC in the available dataset. No additional causative genes are recorded in the packet beyond MYC. No inheritance pattern is specified in this packet, consistent with Burkitt lymphoma's characterization as a somatic malignancy. No ClinVar pathogenic variant data are recorded for this condition in the available dataset.
No structured clinical diagnostic criteria are recorded in this packet's available fields. Diagnostic information beyond the gene association with MYC and the MONDO anatomic subtype classifications is not enumerated in the accessible dataset. Disease subtypes documented in this dataset — small intestinal Burkitt lymphoma and colon Burkitt lymphoma — indicate site-based diagnostic classification within the broader category. No molecular diagnostic markers beyond MYC are listed in the packet.
This packet records two FDA-approved treatments with ACTIVE market status for Burkitt lymphoma: cyclophosphamide (NDA approval 2023-06-27) and FRINDOVYX, a branded formulation of cyclophosphamide (NDA approval 2023-06-07). No foundational therapies are listed in the packet's foundational_therapies field. Ten clinical trials related to Burkitt lymphoma are recorded in ClinicalTrials.gov data within this packet. Active investigations include a study of zilovertamab vedotin in pediatric and young adult participants with hematologic malignancies (NCT06395103, recruiting), a study of CAR T-cell therapy in B-cell cancers (NCT04464200, active not recruiting), and a study of pomalidomide and dose-adjusted EPOCH regimens for HIV-associated lymphomas (NCT05389423, recruiting). No additional approved agents are recorded beyond the two cyclophosphamide entries in this packet.
55 trials found
No structured natural history or prognosis data are present in this packet's natural history field. Disease course and outcome information for Burkitt lymphoma is not available from the accessible fields in this dataset. Prevalence data are listed as unknown in this packet's prevalence field. No natural history field data were populated in the available knowledge packet.
Ten clinical trials related to Burkitt lymphoma are documented in ClinicalTrials.gov data within this packet. Investigations span hematologic malignancy settings and include studies of novel agents such as zilovertamab vedotin, CAR T-cell approaches, and combination chemotherapy regimens. MYC is the documented associated gene for this condition in this packet. ClinicalTrials.gov is the authoritative source for current enrollment status and eligibility criteria for ongoing research in Burkitt lymphoma.

Updated Sep 1, 2026
A case report highlights paraneoplastic myopathy as a potential initial presentation of sporadic Burkitt lymphoma in an immunocompetent adult. This finding may enhance understanding of the disease's manifestations and improve early diagnosis.
A recent study highlights sporadic Burkitt lymphoma cases that lack MYC protein expression, presenting significant diagnostic challenges and a poor prognosis. This rare entity underscores the need for heightened awareness and improved diagnostic criteria in clinical practice.
A recent study reveals a shared clonal origin between angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma, suggesting they evolve from a common precursor. This discovery may enhance understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying these lymphomas.
