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 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 way to repair a cleft in the gum area using the child's own stem cells from baby teeth. It aims to help the bone heal better and avoid a second surgery.
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.
This trial tests a surgical technique (Furlow palatoplasty with a cheek muscle flap) to see if it improves speech development in young children who had a complete cleft lip and palate repaired previously. It may help children between 3 and 5 years old with non-syndromic conditions.
