Portuguese term or phrase: visita
In labelling guidelines for medications for use in clincal trials.

The list includes things like sponsor's name, pharmaceutical form, subject and treatment identification and then:

"se houver, o número da visita"

I'm not really clear on what the "visita" could be here, any help would be appreciated!

visit(s)


Explanation:
The number of monitoring visits would make sense during clinical trials.

"For instance, if the CRA is monitoring an infectious disease study, the course of the therapy will probably be complete for each subject in about ten days. This requires a different frequency of visits than a cholesterol-lowering study with a treatment period of one or two years."

Participation
Participation in a clinical trial begins when you qualify for the study at the screening visit and sign the informed consent form. In studies involving more than one study drug or a study drug and a placebo, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of the study medications. You will be given a schedule of study visits and procedures with instructions describing what to do, when to take study drug and where the visits will take place. Studies could include the following types of visits: home visits with a visiting nurse, telephone visits, outpatient visits to the hospital or clinic and inpatient stays in the hospital. You will have contact numbers of study staff if you have questions at any time. It is important for you to follow all instructions, for example, going to all scheduled visits, having all tests and study procedures and taking study drug on time.
Most studies have roughly three periods or phases: baseline, treatment and follow-up.
Baseline: Baseline visits usually occur before you receive the study drug or investigational procedure. This is also called a lead-in period. This may consist of one visit or more visits. In some studies, there is a wash-out period when participants are asked to stop taking the medication prescribed for the condition being studied for a brief period before starting the study medication. During the baseline period, some of the procedures listed in the study plan will be performed including measurement of vital signs, physical examination or blood and urine testing. These results will later be compared with additional tests and procedures performed after you receive study drug to see how the drug is affecting you.
Treatment: After the baseline period, treatment with the assigned study medication begins. The amount of time you will take the study drug is defined in the study protocol. Treatment may consist of taking only one dose of study drug or may consist of taking the study drug for a longer period of weeks or months. You will usually take the study drug for the first time at the dosing visit. The testing procedures listed in the study plan will be performed within a specified amount of time after you take the study drug. If treatment consists of more than one dose of study drug, after completing the dosing visit, you will be given study drug, a schedule and instructions for the rest of the treatment period. If there is a possibility of receiving a placebo (sugar pill or a substance that looks like the treatment but contains no active drug), you will be told this before you start participation in a study. In some studies, when one group receives placebo during the study, they will be given the opportunity to participate in an open-label extension study where all participants receive the active study drug for a specified amount of time after completing the clinical trial.
Follow-up: Each study will then have a series of one or more follow-up visits at which you will have procedures performed to monitor the effects of the drug over time. The study staff will compare the results from these tests and procedures to baseline results. The staff records any side effects or reactions to the study drug that occur.
