Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Cllinical trials
Swedish term or phrase: Exp
This term/abbreviation appears along with other preliminary data in regard to a certain clinical trial whose conducting has been approved by the appropriate regional ethical review board. The entity issuing this text has requested permission to make a couple of changes to the investigator's brochure and the informed consent form. Meanwhile, the preliminary infomation at the top of the form includes the following:

Left column:

Name and address of ethical review board

Right column:

Dnr [Reg(istration) No.] - XXXX-XX

Ad - XXXX-XX

Betalt [Paid] - (date) (XXXX-XX-XX)

???Exp - (date) XXXX-XX-XX

What could "Exp" mean? I thought of "Expiration," but the Swedish for that, I would think, would be "Utgång" or an abbreviation of that. Another possibility would be "Export," but I'm not sure of this. For anyone's further information, the "Betalt"/Paid date and the "Exp" date are exactly two years apart.

Explanation:
This would be 'Expiditionsdatum' -- I'd say. That when someone stamped the piece of paper (in the old days). Many ways to say that, but this gets a lot of hits.

I'll just add that 'Processing date' is just as likely. Just to cover my bases.
