Translation of COAs & eCOAs

IQVIA’s leading clinical expertise integrates the capability to scale the most sensitive clinical content across languages and cultures. Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs) are amongst the most sensitive pieces of the clinical trial’s puzzle, as they condition the successful collection of data which will then guarantee endpoints to be validated.

Choosing IQVIA for the Linguistic Validation and management of COAs is the best option, providing you with all the benefit of integrated language solutions: speed, quality and cost efficiency.

INTEGRATED LANGUAGE SOLUTIONS

Fast, reliable, efficient

The translation of COA instruments for global studies is a complex, timely and costly process.

IQVIA challenges the status quo with its integrated language solutions model which generates synergies in systems and expertise. The result is faster turnarounds of highly sensitive COA translations while elevating quality and reliability.

Because of the increased regulatory and time-to-market pressure, choosing the right partner to enabled trials globalization is critical. IQVIA is the partner of choice for scalability across languages, cultures and local regulators.

What is linguistic validation, and why is it critical?
Linguistic validation is a critical step in the development and execution of clinical trials, particularly those that involve multinational and multicultural patient populations.
Linguistic validation refers to the process of adapting Clinical Outcomee Assessments (COAs), such as a questionnaire or survey, from its original language to the language of the target population. The process involves ensuring that the translated version of the instrument accurately captures the intended meaning, is culturally appropriate, and is understandable to the target population.
Failure to properly linguistically validate clinical trial instruments can result in inaccurate data, misinterpretation of results, and ultimately compromise the scientific integrity of the trial.
Therefore, linguistic validation is crucial, and choosing a reliable provider is essential to ensure that clinical trial data is reliable, valid, and can be used to inform treatment decisions.
