Commonly Used Clinical Trial Terms in English and Their Chinese Translations; List of Regulatory Guidance for Clinical Trials in China

Friends sometimes ask me about the Chinese translations of the clinical trial terms. Some of the terms are new in Chinese. They did not exist in Chinese until recent years when the drug development and clinical trials had been rapidly expanding in China. It would be useful to list the commonly used terms in clinical trials and provide the corresponding translations. These translations are based on the regulatory documents issued by SFDA (China Food and Drug Administration). Some of the translations are different between the mainland China and the Taiwan.

In collecting the Chinese translations for the commonly used clinical trials, I have to review the regulatory guidance issued by SFDA. It is good to have the links below for references.
