Clinical Lay Summaries

We know that clinical trials are complex and that meeting regulatory requirements is vital.

Turning your clinical study report into something a lay person can understand, in a non-promotional way, is a challenge that requires time and resource.

You’ve completed your clinical trial. Now what?

Well, according to a new EU ruling - EU Clinical Trials Regulation No. 536/2014 - all clinical trial sponsors must provide a lay summary of their results within one year of completing the trial.

Patient-centricity isn’t just about meeting regulatory requirements though, but going a step further and creating something truly ‘lay friendly’.

We can get you there, no matter what stage of the process you are at.

What is a clinical trial lay summary?

A brief outline of the design and results of clinical studies written using plain English is called a lay summary. These summaries (also called layperson summary, plain language summary, lay language summary, simple language summary, and trial results summary) are intended to make the clinical results of these studies understandable and accessible to patients and caregivers.
