Biocleft for cleft palate repair in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment called BIOCLEFT, made from your child's own cheek cells, to help repair a complete cleft palate on one side. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works better than standard surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is a boy or girl under 18 years old.
- Cleft is complete on one side, involving both lip and palate, and not part of a syndrome.
- Your child already donated a small piece of cheek lining during a prior lip repair surgery.
- One parent or guardian must sign a permission form agreeing to the study.
- Your child does not have active infections, serious blood/liver/kidney/bone problems, or a cancer diagnosis.

This study looks at how well early orthopedic treatment works for babies born with cleft lip and/or palate before they have surgery. It may help improve treatment plans and outcomes.
This trial is part of a quality-improvement and research program for people with typical facial clefts. It aims to help improve how care is organized and measured across treatment centers, which may benefit future patients and help your team deliver coordinated care.
This study looks at whether alveolar bone graft surgery is cost-effective for people with cleft lip and palate. It may help clinics choose the most practical approach for the best outcomes while managing overall costs.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a child's own stem cells from a baby tooth to help repair a gap in the upper jaw bone caused by a cleft lip and palate. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works better than standard bone grafting.
This trial tests if adding a small stabilizing plate during a bone graft for both sides of the upper jaw helps the graft heal better than the standard method. It's for children ages 9 to 12 who have already had their cleft lip repaired.
This trial tests a new way to repair a gap in the upper jawbone (called an alveolar cleft) using thin layers of bone, called cortical shells, taken from the patient's own body. It is for children who have not had this surgery before and who are generally healthy.
