Explanation:
However, it would depend on the context the term is being used for. As far as I know this term is most widely used when we refer to this abbreviation.

Well, if it is part of a clinical study, there are four options you could opt for keeping in view the context of the source text.
These are:
- Technical Component
- Technology Component
- Telecommunications


Example sentence(s):
  • Application for a TC to migrate to some other place.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Monica Colangelo: this is about a clinical study and the phrase is used in the Informed Consent Form./ While I agree context is important, the question is "Med/Clin. Trial". Based on my ongoing experience translating Inf Consent Forms, your suggestions are still inaccurate
8 mins
  -> This is the reason why the context is very important, while answering a query. Perhaps the terms I have reffered to now would make some sense to the text.
