English translation:This (test?) was carried out for persons from whom written participation consent was obtained.
Explanation:
That's a rather direct translation, but hopefully it makes the meaning clear.

Depending on the context, a more natural translation may look something like this: "Participants in this test consented in writing to participate, with full understanding of the test's meaning, contents and purpose."

neutral  Mami Yamaguchi: Sorry, test is not used here. Study and trial are appropriate here. 「参加同意を文書で」 means 'written informed consent'. It is IMPORTANT technical term.

  -> Thank you for your reply, Mami. I agree: nakcl's translation below is the better choice. I was attempting to clarify the meaning as requested with a literal translation, but this is outside my subject area, and nakcl offered a clearly better option.

This study will be conducted for subjects who have provided written informed consent.


Explanation:
This is a typical sentence from inclusion criteria of clinical trial. Details may vary, but 試験 should be 'study' or 'trial' and 参加同意を文書 should be '(written) informed consent'. No 'person', but 'subject'. These are kind of 'essential' jargons in this field. Passive/active mode and conduct/carry out are of little significance.

agree  Mami Yamaguchi: 'study' or 'trial' is more appropriate as equivalent to 「試験」. And 「参加同意を文書で」 means 'written informed consent'.　But 'written' is not needed,I think. http://www.jbs-wa.co.jp/smo/medical_glossary.html 　 http://www.umeny.com/Howto_JP.html
