Case Report Forms Translation

A case report form (CRF, or case study report form) is a paper or electronic questionnaire specifically used in clinical trial research to facilitate data analysis and test hypotheses. The case report form is the tool used by the sponsor of the clinical trial to collect data from each participating patient. All data on each patient participating in a clinical trial are held and/or documented in the CRF, including adverse events. Case report forms contain data obtained during the patient's participation in the clinical trial. Though paper CRFs are still used largely, CRFs (eCRFs) is gaining popularity due to the advantages they offer such as improved data quality, online discrepancy management, and faster database lock, etc.

More than half of the largest pharmaceutical companies conduct their clinical trials abroad, especially their phase III clinical trials. The International Conference on Harmonisation Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice defines the CRF as a printed, optical, or electronic document designed to record all of the protocol – required information to be reported to the sponsor on each trial subject. CRF may result in many versions, and hence needs to be version controlled. A good translation is now becoming indispensable for conducting successful clinical trials internationally.
