Clinical Trials (Phases I-III)
After completing preclinical studies and receiving regulatory approval, our clients begin clinical trials to fine-tune their drugs and ensure safety and efficacy in humans. On an average day, the Conversis team could be assisting with more than a dozen active trials, so we’re intimately familiar with the quirks and challenges of this kind of work, and have created workflows and AI tools to help our clients meet them head-on.
Specific Ways We Can Help.
Investigator brochures (IBs)
- We translate your IBs so that they tell your investigators everything they need to know, clearly and concisely, in every language, and through every update.
Patient recruitment materials
- We translate the entire range of patient-facing materials, from portals, to diaries, to PILs. We offer DTP for all languages, and can advise on cultural appropriateness and local regulations.
Informed consent forms (ICFs)
- ICFs are legal documents, so absolute accuracy is essential, yet cultural differences may affect interpretation. We work with linguists specialized in translating this material, who are also based in the relevant communities.
eCOA/ePRO
- We accelerate your eCOA timelines through a combination of specialist linguists, sector expertise, and our custom AI.
Regulatory documentation (IMPD, IB updates)
- Many regulatory documents created before and during a clinical trial require regular updates as the trial progresses. We can isolate updated content for rapid, accurate translation, and maintain clear version control across all languages.
Lay summaries
- Creating lay summaries at an appropriate reading level for the average, non-scientific reader can be a challenge. Our linguists are specialists in localizing these tricky documents for the communities they live in.
Overcoming the Challenges of Clinical Trials.
Once the preclinical phase is complete and you have received approval to run clinical trials, there’s a new set of challenges and milestones to think about.
First up is the technical work, like drafting Investigator Brochures. This document needs to be clear, absolutely accurate, and understandable to all stakeholders.
Then you need to recruit a diverse group of participants, and retain them – two of the biggest challenges in running a successful clinical trial. You need to keep everyone updated, engaged, and safe throughout; manage logistics; gather and analyze data; keep your documentation updated for regulatory submissions; and communicate results to interested parties (e.g., study participants).
It's a lot. But nothing you can’t handle with help from Conversis! We’ve got expert linguists in over 110 countries, covering 330+ language combinations, including regional and rare ones. We can help you to speak to investigators and participants alike – in the right language, and in a way that resonates culturally. We can help translate recruitment materials that attract and retain a diverse audience, manage your multilingual data efficiently, and our regulatory specialists can assist with submissions materials for every major body globally.
