Virtual surgery study for jaw tumor removal
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a computer method to plan safe removal of a non-cancerous jaw tumor called ameloblastoma. It may help surgeons see the exact area to remove to reduce the chance of the tumor coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a jaw tumor called ameloblastoma, confirmed by a biopsy.
- Your tumor requires removal of a segment of your lower jaw, but not the part near your jaw joint.
- You do not have an active infection at the surgical site.
- You have not had the same tumor come back after a prior surgery.

This trial tests if taking targeted drugs before surgery can reduce the amount of jawbone that needs to be removed, compared to going straight to surgery. It is for people with a specific type of jaw tumor that has a BRAF V600E mutation.
This trial tests whether taking two targeted drugs (dabrafenib and trametinib) before surgery can shrink a specific type of jaw tumor called ameloblastoma. The tumor must have a certain genetic change (BRAF V600E mutation) and require a large jaw surgery. The goal is to see if the drugs make surgery less extensive or more successful.
This trial is studying a method to rebuild part of the lower jaw using a blood-supply bone replacement, so you can later get dental rehabilitation. It’s for adults who need a sizable, tumor-free jaw bone reconstruction and who can safely undergo surgery.
This trial is testing a bone plate used to rebuild the lower jaw after removing a non-cancerous growth. It may help patients who need surgery to remove a benign lesion from the center of their jawbone.
This trial compares a new computer-based method to standard surgery for repairing fractures of the cheekbone area. It aims to see if the virtual approach leads to more precise results.
This trial uses computer scans to create facial shape meshes for patients who had jaw surgery to correct an underbite. It aims to improve planning for future surgeries.
