Life Sciences: language services for pharmaceutical and CRO firms

Accuracy in communication is essential, particularly in the field of life sciences. Pharmaceutical firms, clinical research organizations and other life science companies are subject to numerous regulatory and reporting requirements, so they need to work with a language services provider that understands these requirements.

Since its founding in 1991, Ubiqus has worked with numerous companies in the field of life sciences, from medium-sized companies to large international groups. Our expertise in both scientific and non-scientific projects allows us to deliver high-quality, regulatory-compliant services that meet your company’s precise needs.

High-Quality Documents

Ubiqus works with experienced transcriptionists and translators with extensive backgrounds in the life sciences. They are selected for projects based on their expertise in the specific field or topic, and their work is reviewed by our Quality Control department to ensure you receive a final document that’s accurate and adheres to your specifications.

To be considered for a project, our linguists must demonstrate:

  • a strong medical, pharmaceutical, scientific or clinical background in the specific therapeutic area,
  • experience working with the specific type of document
  • Familiarity with the relevant regulations.

Regulatory-Compliant Translations

Our linguists are selected based on their familiarity with regulations that pertain to the life sciences. This familiarity comes through in our translations. Translators so more than translate your documents; they make sure they meet the regulatory requirements relevant to the target county.

Working with CROs: our unique and valuable expertise

CLINICAL TRIALS

Clinical trials are increasingly conducted on an international basis. There are many advantages to this approach, but it also creates challenges for the CRO, particularly when it comes to sharing data.

You have to create your documents in time to submit to each country. They need to present information accurately in all your target languages. They must also be stored in a secure environment, with clear tracking and visibility of the work in progress.

Ubiqus can help you navigate these steps smoothly.

We provide the language services you need throughout the lifecycle of your study, from the early stages to post-marketing. We tailor our offerings to accommodate your specific parameters:

  • Target audiences: providing translation and interpretation for multilingual patients and professionals
  • Countries involved: facilitating communications through a range of language combinations
  • Therapeutic areas: selecting linguists with expertise in your specific therapeutic area
  • Content types: Informed Consent Form (ICF), Protocol, Protocol Synopsis, Investigator Brochure, Patient Diary, Questionnaires, Regulatory Affairs and Ethics Committee Correspondence, Contracts, Serious Adverse Event (SAE) and more
  • Text adaptation: reworking medical texts for non-medical audiences
  • Formats: producing documents in your preferred format

Our internal standard operating procedures, combined with human linguistic expertise and innovative technology, help you streamline your study and ensure successful communication across all sites.

REGULATORY AFFAIRS

We understand the importance of patient safety. For this reason, we ensure we have the regulatory and industry-specific knowledge to translate all your regulatory documents accurately and in compliance with regulatory agencies (FDA, EMA, …).

We regularly translate Product Information Leaflets (PILs), Labels, Packaging, Summaries of Product Characteristics (SPCs) and Regulatory Correspondence.

To meet the local regulatory standards, we comply with Quality Review Documents (QRD) template guidelines, as published by the EMA.

We also comply with the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines, as published by the ICH.

We use the latest technology to ensure that the client-specific style guides, templates and glossaries we create maximize quality, consistency and compliance.
