Trial summary

Cell therapy appears to be an alternative to treat bone defects. Scientific advances have shown in animal models and in humans that mesenchymal stem cells were good candidates to support cellular bone regeneration after transplantation. However, their collection requires invasive sampling usually bone marrow. Read more about this study

About this study

Cell therapy appears to be an alternative to treat bone defects. Scientific advances have shown in animal models and in humans that mesenchymal stem cells were good candidates to support cellular bone regeneration after transplantation. However, their collection requires invasive sampling usually bone marrow. A new candidate stem cells able to stimulate bone regeneration has recently been identified in the nasal cavity, these cells are called "ecto-mesenchymal" cells. These stem cells have very similar biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells of bone marrow. They exhibit a high mitogenic activity and hold great potential for differentiation into osteoblast lineage. Given their properties and their ease of access within the nasal cavity, ecto-mesenchymal stem cells offer new prospects for cell therapy targeting bone involvement. In this context, the ecto-mesenchymal stem cells represent a nasal bone reconstruction interesting alternative in particular in indication of the cleft. They are directly and easily accessible in these children when conventional surgical reconstruction. The investigators propose in this study to validate a production method of stem cell called "ecto-mesenchymal" isolated from a biopsy of the nasal cavity of children with cleft lip and palate to be able to soon propose cell therapy innovative in this indication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sampling mesenchymal stem cells in people with Cleft Palate, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of nasal mesenchymental stem cells (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2023.
