Testing a growth factor gel for cleft palate repair
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies if applying a gel made from your child's own blood (plasma rich in growth factors) can improve healing after surgery to repair a cleft palate. It is for healthy babies and toddlers between 6 and 18 months old with an isolated cleft palate that is not part of a genetic syndrome.

This study compares two types of gel made from the patient's own blood, with or without an antibiotic, applied during cleft palate surgery to see if they improve healing and reduce complications.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
