Our pharmaceutical translation services

Clinical trial materials

We translate the full suite of clinical trial documentation: study protocols, amendments, investigator brochures (IBs), case report forms (CRFs), informed consent forms (ICFs), and patient-facing materials. Our clinical trial translators understand are well versed in GCP requirements and are experienced in the expectations of ethics committees across multiple jurisdictions.

Regulatory submissions & dossiers

From Module 1 regional administrative documents to Module 5 clinical study reports, we translate regulatory submissions in eCTD and paper format for national competent authorities worldwide. Our project teams include regulatory translation specialists who understand both the science and the submission requirements.

Labelling & packaging

Product labelling, including outer cartons, immediate labels, blisters, and vials – all must meet the precise requirements of each market's regulatory authority. We manage multilingual labelling projects with rigorous version control, barcode and artwork coordination, and a final label accuracy check before sign-off.

Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) & Package Leaflets (PIL) for European MAA

SmPCs and PILs must be maintained in all approved languages throughout a product's lifecycle. We translate, update, and manage these documents across your portfolio, including consistency with standards such as QRD for the EMA – with processes and tools ensuring consistency, so that changes in one language are applied harmoniously across all others.

Medical Writing Support & Scientific Publications

For organisations publishing in international journals or preparing medico-legal documents for cross-border use, we provide translation support for manuscripts, clinical study reports, and scientific communications – with linguists who understand the conventions of scientific publication.  We are also able to resource medical writing for clinical and regulatory documentation.
