Clinical research documentation in many languages for a large clinical research organization

Challenge

One of espell’s customers is a large clinical research organization (CRO), for which we translate a range of documents into 45 languages: informed consent forms, hospital contracts, trial protocols and questionnaires, CTA application documentation. Some of these documents concern the trial phase of clinical research, like the translation of feedback from patients and hospitals. For documents like these, CROs must have complete accuracy in translation.

Solution

We ensure maximum accuracy by using back-translation by an independent team or through third-party certification. Once the translation is ready, we ask the second team to translate it back into the original language or to certify accuracy and completeness.

"One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies selected espell as a key translation partner for more than 50 language combinations. The volumes sent our way scaled up very rapidly, so our team had to deal with a massive, 150% increase in translation volumes within a rather short time. To address this challenge, we built a dedicated PM-team to support the client with day-to-day communication, we developed the appropriate quality assurance procedures and synchronized the work of multiple language teams. Dozens of professionals work together in scores of projects every week running in parallel to ensure the highest service level and linguistic quality."
