What are Clinician-Reported Outcomes (ClinROs), and why are their translations so important for companies conducting clinical trials? ClinROs are valuable assessment reports written by a clinician or trained health care professional and are used to document measurable changes in a participant’s overall health, symptoms, quality of life, and ability to function during a clinical trial. With more clinical trials being conducted overseas and the importance of accurately documenting clinical outcomes across languages, high-quality and accurate clinician-reported outcomes translations are vital to meeting the needs of all stakeholders in the clinical trial process.
To help clinicians and medical professionals accurately document changes to a patient’s health across any language and meet international language requirements for clinical trial documents, CSOFT Health Sciences provides high-quality and cost-effective ClinRO translations in over 250 languages. With a global network of 10,000+ in-country linguists and subject matter experts, we provide a range of COA translations, including patient-reported outcome (PRO) translations, performance-reported outcome (PerfO) translations, and observer-reported outcome (ObsRO) translations.
Patient Diaries Translations
Patient diaries are an essential tool that enables clinical trial participants and patients to accurately document patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Using a patient diary, the study subject or patient may be asked to record information like adverse events, symptoms, or medication dosage times and also to evaluate the quality of care provided during the trial. Patient diaries are important communications often fraught with misunderstandings, requiring expert translation to be applied effectively and ethically in diverse trials. CSOFT’s expertise in translating and localizing patient diaries for companies conducting clinical trials can solve these communication problems and help expand a trial’s scope across borders.

Case Report Form (CRF) Translations
During a clinical trial, a case report form (CRF/eCRF) is an essential tool the trial sponsor uses to record and collect data on each trial participant, making CRF translations necessary for sponsors conducting trials across borders to reach patients in multiple languages. To help the sponsor support and test their hypothesis, a CRF is created and used to gather vital patient information, which can range from a small collection of notes to high volumes of clinical notes and patient data. With a growing demand to reach and engage patients across languages and to help sponsors comply with Institutional Review Board (IRB) guidelines, CSOFT Health Sciences provides professional and high-quality CRF translations, ensuring that the already-complex trial process isn’t complicated by miscommunication.

Linguistic Validation for COAs
For stakeholders involved in global clinical trials, many regulating bodies require documents like patient questionaries, which are used to record clinical outcome assessments (COA), to be submitted for review in particular languages. With a growing number of sponsors conducting clinical trials internationally and involving patients of all backgrounds, ensuing that patient questionnaire translations are consistent and accurate is essential for successfully bringing the new products to market and completing the trial within a reasonable time frame. Using a multistep process called linguistic validation that combines the knowledge of linguists and medical experts, CSOFT Health Sciences can help sponsors and other trial stakeholders ensure their patient questionnaires and COAs are accurate in all languages.
