Law/Patents - Law (general) / Agreement Resolution For Clinical Study
Spanish term or phrase: desistimiento
Title of a resolution agreement to cancel application for authorization of a clinical study:

Context: "RESOLUCION POR LA QUE SE ACUERDA ACEPTAR EL **DESISTIMIENTO** AL PROCEDIMIENTO DEL EXPEDIENTE NO. X RELATIVO A LA SOLICITUD DE AUTORIZACION DE INVESTIGACION CLINICA."

What do you think is better to use here? "Abandonment" or "cancellation?" Any better ideas?

Thanks,
