Clinical Investigations
& Trials


Clinical trials and investigations are essential to assess the safety and efficacy of a medical device in humans, to identify any potential risks, and to gather data so devices can be approved for marketing. During this phase, we support clients with protocol translation, participant engagement, multilingual communication, and global regulatory submissions.

Specific Ways We Can Help.


Clinical trial protocols

Patient recruitment materials

Informed consent forms (ICFs)

Patient information leaflets (PILs)

Investigator brochures (IBs)

eCOA/ePRO

Regulatory documentation

Lay summaries

Tackling the Challenges of Clinical Investigations and Trials.


This stage of the lifecycle comes with a set of specific challenges, not least of which is the need to recruit and retain trial participants. This is one of the trickiest parts of the lifecycle, and is where a lot of devices stall, before their potential can be fully explored. We help widen and diversify the pool of participants, working with in-country linguists to ensure recruitment and retention materials engage local communities and push trials forward.

Investigations and trials also require the creation of a wealth of technical documentation. As sector specialists, we can assist in translating this highly specific content in a way that is accurate, quality-managed, and tightly version-controlled.

Added to this technical documentation is the significant workload associated with gathering and translating the right data for approvals. We use translation memory, AI-assisted workflows, and custom automation tools to streamline the translation process and adapt outputs to suit different end uses — whether for internal reference, investigator use, or submission.

FAQs.

What are the costs and timelines for translation?

Translation costs and timelines vary depending on factors like language combinations, service levels and volumes. We assess each new project and provide a corresponding quote detailing costs and turnaround times.

Please get in touch with the team and we will be very happy to produce a quote or estimate for you.

Do you use AI?

Yes, over the years, we have created many AI tools to automate time-consuming processes and tackle recurring challenges. We may also implement AI translation where appropriate, depending on languages and content types. We will advise on our recommended approach on a project-by-project basis.
