Bone Tissue Engineering With Dental Pulp Stem Cells for Alveolar Cleft Repair

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Cleft Lip and Palate
Interventions
Combination Product: Iliac crest autogenous bone graft
Combination Product: Mesenchymal stem cells associated with biomaterials
Registration Number
NCT03766217
Lead Sponsor
Hospital Sirio-Libanes
Brief Summary

Iliac crest autogenous bone graft is accepted as the most effective method for secondary alveolar cleft repair. However this method is associated with complications. As an alternative, mesenchymal stem cells associated with biomaterials have been used for the rehabilitation of the alveolar bone cleft of patients with cleft lip and palate. This is a RCT comparing mesenchymal stem cells obtained from autogenous deciduous dental pulp associated with biomaterials versus iliac crest autogenous bone graft for secondary alveolar cleft repair.

Iliac crest autogenous bone graftIliac crest autogenous bone graftAutogenous bone will be obtained from iliac crest. The prepare of the receptor area will be the same in both arms and will follow current recommendations.
Mesenchymal stem cells associated with biomaterialsMesenchymal stem cells associated with biomaterialsMesenchymal stem cells obtained from autogenous deciduous dental pulp associated with biomaterials. The stem cells will be obtained by enzimatic digestion in GMP laboratory and will be seed into the biomaterial (hydroxyapatite/collagen).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Alveolar bone filling rate12 months

Alveolar bone filling rate defined by the filling of at least 70% of the alveolar cleft area.

Serious adverse events12 months

Serious adverse events resulting in death, life-threatening event, hospitalization, prolongation of existing hospitalization (for \> 24 hours), persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions. Important medical event that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered a serious adverse drug experience when, based upon medical judgment, it may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

Frequency of participants experiencing at least one serious adverse event.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Non serious adverse events15 days; 3, 6 and 12 months

Frequency of participants experiencing at least one non serious adverse event

Bone Tissue Engineering With Dental Pulp Stem Cells for Alveolar Cleft RepairBone tissue engineering
Alveolar bone filling rate6 months

Alveolar bone filling rate defined by the filling of at least 70% of the alveolar cleft area.

Patient-reported outcome (PRO, including appearance, fuction and quality of life)pre surgery and 12 months

Assessed by CLEFT-Q, a self-report PRO instrument, tool answered independently patients themselves, without interpretation by the parent(s) or healthcare provider. The CLEFT-Q consists of 13 independently functioning domains (171 items) measuring appearance, facial function and quality of life. Each domain is composed of a series of items that together evaluate a unidimensional construct. A higher score means a better result (continuous outcome, measured by: mean)

Position of the canine tooth and formation of dental root12 months

Position of the canine tooth and formation of dental root assessed by CT scan

Serious adverse events15 days; 3 and 6 months

Serious adverse events resulting in death, life-threatening event, hospitalization, prolongation of existing hospitalization (for \> 24 hours), persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions. Important medical event that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered a serious adverse drug experience when, based upon medical judgment, it may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

Frequency of participants experiencing at least one serious adverse event.
