Swedish term

en öppen utökad behandlingsperiod

Swedish to English Medical Medical (general) Drug trials
Patienter som inte uppfyller behandlingsmålen eller de ytterligare randomiseringskriterierna senast N-månad 18 randomiseras inte, men kan delta i en öppen utökad behandlingsperiod under vilken de erhåller läkemedel med samma dos och regim som de erhöll i slutet av inledningsperioden eller med en justerad dos (se nedan).

Is this an "extended OUTPATIENT treatment period" or just a redundant way of talking about an extended treatment period in terms of the drug trial?

Selected

an open, extended treatment period

The opposite of a blind trial is an open trial.

The reference supports my proffered translation of the word "behandlingsperiod".

an open, extended course of treatment

In my opinion, I would stick as closely as possible to the source text, and the Swedish is specific here. The word "outpatient" does not appear in the source, so I would avoid using it in the target.
