Spanish term

el sitio de investigación

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Research report for new drug
El sujeto fue asignado al azar al tratamiento con 100 mg/día de DVS SR y se le suministró el medicamento, pero el sitio de investigación no logró determinar si había tomado alguna dosis del medicamento en estudio.

Could this be referring to the research/investigation team?

Discussion

Adam Burman (asker) Oct 22, 2006:
Agree, thanks David :)
Jorge Blanco Oct 22, 2006:
I would rather use research/study site. The noun "site" is used here to refer to a team doing the research.
David Brown Oct 22, 2006:
well why not put "it could not be determined at the research/investigation site"?
Adam Burman (asker) Oct 22, 2006:
Good point - I don't really think either is quite right (despite having prefered lab over site). In any event, as Jorge points out it, it is customary to use "research/investigation site".
David Brown Oct 22, 2006:
sorry, I ddn't finish....accept "site" (not a person) can determine something.
David Brown Oct 22, 2006:
Adam, if you can accept that a "laboratory" analyses or determines something (not a person) why can't you accept "site" (not a person)
Adam Burman (asker) Oct 22, 2006:
Hi David. My poiint was that a person would "determine" whether the man had taken of the medication not a "site". See also agree by soniadin. I agree with you in terms of it not referring to lab analysis. As always, thanks for your contribution!
David Brown Oct 22, 2006:
I am a bit unsure why you think they are referring to lab analysis in this sentence. They are saying the research site did not manage to determine whether the patient had taken the study medication.
Dr Sue Levy (X) Oct 22, 2006:
see "study site" in association with clinical trial
Adam Burman (asker) Oct 22, 2006:
I was a bit unhappy using "site" - a "site" cannot determine something. Lab is certainly better - thanks Xenia

agree Sonia Iujvidin : en este caso, es la gente la que determinó que no tomó la medicación, por lo tanto es mas correcto ponerlo así.

research site

In clinic trials, you always talk about site. Eveng though it's not the site, but the people there, that makes the determination, it is customary to put it this way.
Peer comment(s):

agree David Brown : Although I think there is confusion over the meaning of "determinar" here, it does not necessary mean lab. analysis. Although they might use this to determine whether.......

I believe this is what you're looking for. This is what I would suggest (for the U.S., not sure about U.K.).

There weren't as many hits on google for "clinical trials lab", but it might give you more specific information. I also tried "research lab" pharmaceuticals.

I hope you find this helpful! :-)
