Good Clinical Practice药物临床试验质量管理规范

Good Clinical Practice is an international ethical and scientific quality standard that governs the design, conduct, recording, monitoring, and reporting of clinical trials involving human participants. It appears in trial protocols, investigator brochures, clinical study reports, and regulatory submissions, where it defines the responsibilities of sponsors, investigators, and monitors and provides the framework for protecting subject rights, safety, and data reliability.

Where this term appears

In translation and localization, GCP terms appear in clinical trial protocols, informed consent forms, monitoring plans, audit reports, and regulatory correspondence. Translators must ensure that roles such as sponsor, monitor, and auditor are rendered consistently, and that imperative language reflecting GCP obligations retains its binding tone in the target language.

Translation checks

A common error is translating Good Clinical Practice word-for-word as “good clinical practice” rather than using the established regulatory term in the target market, or weakening mandatory phrases such as “must ensure” into softer recommendations. This can create confusion about compliance duties and may make trial documents appear less binding during regulatory or ethical review.

Keep the term aligned across your files

Check intended use, warnings, document versions and approved terminology with the project team. Translation supports documentation; it does not establish product approval or regulatory acceptance.

Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
