Bone and Skull Structure Study in Infants With Craniosynostosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This research study examines the bone structure and healing of the skull in babies with craniosynostosis (when skull bones fuse too early). Researchers will analyze bone samples to better understand how the condition affects bone development and strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be diagnosed with craniosynostosis by a pediatric neurosurgeon
- Your baby must be between 3 and 12 months old
- Your baby must be treated at Hôpital Femme Mère Enfant in Lyon, France
- Your baby cannot have had previous skull surgery in the top/back area of the head
- Your baby cannot have a metabolic bone disease (like osteogenesis imperfecta or rickets)
- Your baby cannot be taking medications that affect bone health (like steroids or bisphosphonates) in the last 6 months

This study tests whether burosumab and vitamin D affect bone cells before and around the time of craniosynostosis surgery in children. It may help researchers understand treatment options for rare calcium and phosphate bone disorders that can affect skull growth.
This study is building a database of medical information and images from children with certain conditions affecting the face and skull, such as craniosynostosis, achondroplasia, and osteogenesis imperfecta. The goal is to better understand these conditions and improve future care.
This study tests a new treatment called ASO (antisense oligonucleotide) therapy on tissue samples from babies with syndromic craniosynostosis—a condition where skull bones fuse too early due to specific genetic changes. Researchers hope this approach could eventually help prevent or reduce the severity of this condition.
This trial tests a new medical device that helps guide surgery for children with certain skull conditions (trigonocephaly or anterior plagiocephaly). The device is designed to make the surgery safer and more precise for children aged 4 to 24 months.
This study looks at how general anesthesia may affect “brain injury marker” levels during and after surgery for single-suture craniosynostosis in infants. It may help doctors better understand anesthesia timing and safety for babies having corrective surgery.
This study looks at eye features in people with craniosynostosis (a condition where skull bones fuse too early). It may help doctors better understand eye problems that can occur with this condition.
