Transcom was asked to provide us with trial-specific versions of very complex rating scales for a multi-national AD study. We were very satisfied: the scales in top-quality, the work performed within our tight schedule, and any questions our teams or the investigators had was answered quickly and professionally
I just wanted to say thank you very much for your great help with the translation for these studies, for your professionalism, support and help. You have made the process very easy and assisted with everything possible. Thanks and we’ll be in touch in the next project.
Request a Quote
I contacted Transcom requesting an urgent translation of a large quantity of documents intended for the patients. Since there was a significant delay in receiving the documents from the study sponsor, there was much less time left to translate the documents in order to meet the submission deadlines with the Helsinki Committee. As always, Transcom went the extra mile so we could meet the schedule and submit the documents on time. I would like to thank you for the hard work, the efforts and of course for the high quality of the translations.
