German term or phrase: Wirkprozess
Wird ein negativer Zusammenhang von Baseline-Belastung mit Response gemäß prozentualer Verbesserung sowie mit Remission erwartet und die Annahme geprüft, dass Early Response eine vermittelnde Rolle in den *Wirkprozessen* einnimmt.

From other sources:

Im Fokus dieser Dissertation stehen personenbezogene Wirkungen und dafür relevante *Wirkprozesse* von kollegialer Beratung.

Die Autoren erläutern, wie durch Information und Kommunikation als Stimuli innere *Wirkprozesse* ausgelöst werden können, die sowohl zu einem Placebo als auch zu einem Nocebo führen können.

inner process / active process / inner workings
Explanation:
From the sources I found it looks like active process in the same sense as that an ingredient can be an active ingredient. But I also like the idea of inner process or inner workings especially You could also just translate it as "processes".

A negative correlation is expected between baseline exposure and response according to percentage improvement and remission, and the assumption that early response plays a mediating role in the active processes is examined.

The authors explain how information and communication as stimuli can trigger active internal processes that can lead to both a placebo and a nocebo.

unfolding process/process at play


Explanation:
Wirkprozess suggests to me that the effect(s) (Wirkung) of those processes is/are significant or relevant in the context (eine Wirkung entfalten).

"The authors explain how stimuli in the form of information and communication may trigger unfolding internal mechanisms/processes that..."

Seems to me that in this sentence the concept of Wirkung is at least partially covered by "trigger", so one might decide that "unfolding" can be omitted with little loss of meaning.
