Medical Translations: overview

To meet the global need for quality clinical research translations we offer medical translations from local languages into English. We deliver translations of clinical research activities and data for international clinical trials. This service provides translations for a variety of materials emerging during the lifespan of a clinical trial, including study start documents, adverse events, study results, clinical trial documents, IND reports, and product labeling. For example, we can offer translations of source documents as part of your distant monitoring activities and trial overview. Or you might want to obtain a certified English translation of your local submissions and approved labeling for your global Regulatory tracking systems.

We also can provide back translations of your globally approved study documents: Informed Consent Forms (ICFs), Investigator’s Brochures, Protocol and Protocol Amendments (if needed), educational presentations, instructions, FAQs, etc.

We provide an overall control of the provided translations to ensure that they are full, correct and delivered in timely fashion. In contrast to conventional commercial translation agencies, we utilize staff who are expert in clinical trials and medical translations. We hire translators with medical background familiar with health care procedures – the fact that can significantly improve the quality of translations. As most of source documents are still being hand-written, it takes skills and experience to recognize and interpret medical notations accurately.

A known limitation of medical translations is that they’re full of specific medical terms and abbreviations, familiar only to inner circle of medical professions dealing with a particular disease or medical condition. As a result, medical translations can be a challenge. To successfully deal with this, we cooperate with a group of trusted linguists, many of whom have either a medical background or have been involved in medical translations for quite some time now.

We are determined that our clients have access to high-quality, submission-ready translations which fully meet the needs of sponsors who are submitting results to regulatory agencies.
