About this study

The fact that still exist is which method for repairing of secondary cleft palatal fistula is the best. This study will have shown whether using of Acellular dermal Matrix decreased the fistula formation versus using Conchal Cartilage during secondary fistula. Among studies that published, they have not consensus for using acellular dermal matrix. Most of the questions are about cost effectiveness, time that surgery and rehabilitation need and patient risk ( risk of transmission disease from other human tissue )

Read the detailed description

Observational study composed of a prospective cohort group receiving ADM compared to a retrospective historical cohort group with Conchal Cartilage.

Primary objectives:

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether ADM would lower the incidence of palatal fistula in patients undergoing secondary cleft palate fistula repair.

Secondary objectives:

  1. hypo nasality speech after surgery
  2. Improvement Speech Score

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cleft Palate, run by Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

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 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Fistula formation (time frame: Within 2 year of surgery). 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?
