What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing bilateral alveolar clefts (gaps in the upper jaw) using bone grafts from the hip. Twenty participants will receive either a solid bone block or loose bone chips. The goal is to see which method provides better bone volume and stability after healing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Bone graft (iliac corticocancellous bone block or autogenous particulate bone)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective surgical technique for repairing cleft palates, potentially improving bone stability and reducing the need for repeat surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both procedures involve surgery and carry risks like infection, pain, or graft failure.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 20 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Apr 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Apr 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * patients diagnosed with bilateral alveolar cleft requiring secondary alveolar bone graft. * Medically fit for surgery under general anesthesia. * Adequate soft tissue coverage at the cleft site. * Patients (or guardians) able to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Unilateral alveolar cleft. * Presence of systemic diseases affecting bone healing (e.g., Diabetes Mellitus uncontrolled, osteoporosis). * Syndromic cleft patients. * Poor oral hygiene or active infection at the surgical site. * History of radiotherapy in the maxillofacial region. * Contraindications to general anesthesia. * Patients unwilling or unable to comply with follow-up.
