A protocol amendment documents a change to a clinical-trial protocol or provides a formal clarification of it.

Angel Translation editorial reference · Confirm the rendering against your source and approved project terminology.
Check source meaning → confirm the preferred term → record approved variants and references.
For Chinese translation, identify the amendment and the protocol revision it refers to. If a Chinese version already exists, pair it with its source revision before reusing wording. Keep a summary of changes separate from the full revised protocol so readers know which file they are reviewing.
The word amendment does not establish that a change has been approved or has taken effect. Preserve the source wording on status and dates. If the amendment cites a different protocol revision from the supplied file, ask the document owner to resolve the reference before incorporating the change.

Review status: questions to confirm
Record the protocol and amendment IDs and revisions. Identify whether the requested source is the full revised protocol, an amendment summary, a marked-up file or a combination.
Pair a prior Chinese version with the source it translated. Mark changed passages and unresolved source references before deciding which Chinese wording can carry forward.
Ask the source owner to resolve unclear status or references. Agree who reviews the Chinese wording and whether the return includes a clean file, tracked changes or a bilingual comparison.
Start with file IDs and revisions, the change summary and any matched Chinese reference. Agree the included files and review output before translation.
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.
Include the source and target languages, file types, intended use, deadline and any approved termbase. Agree handling before sending sensitive files. Acknowledged in 4 hours, quoted in 24.
