Using your baby's own growth factors to help cleft palate healing
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies whether giving a special concentrate from the child's own blood, called PRGF, along with the standard surgery to repair a cleft palate, can help it heal better. It is for otherwise healthy infants with an isolated cleft palate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 18 months old
- Your child must have a cleft palate that is not part of a larger syndrome
- Your child must be generally healthy (no serious medical conditions)
- Your child must not have had a previous failed cleft repair (a hole in the palate)
- Your child must not have blood or platelet disorders

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 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 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 treatment for deep gum disease pockets using a combination of your own blood components (injectable platelet-rich fibrin) and a bone graft material. It aims to help regenerate bone lost to periodontitis.
This trial studies an “autologous platelet concentrate” (a gel made from your own blood) to help heal deep bone defects caused by periodontitis. It’s meant for adults with specific measurements in one or more gum pockets and bone areas after recent non-surgical gum treatment.
This trial tests if a special blood-based graft (Alb-PRF) helps you heal better and feel less discomfort after a gum graft procedure compared to a standard one. It aims to improve your recovery after a free gingival graft.
