I am translating the documentation for a clinical trial and I have a document with the title "Formulaire d'autorisation de levee d'aveugle". I assume it is something pertaining to the cancellation of the "blind" feature of the trial, but I wonder if there is any specific term for "levee d'aveugle". Thank you for all suggestions.

removing the blind(ing)
In a double blind test of a drug (for example), neither the administrator nor the recipient knows which patients are being given a placebo. There may be clinical reasons for removing this blind, e.g. if the drug being tested is discovered to have nasty side-effects.
"After the blinding was removed, recurrence of the fissure was observed in 3 of 52 patients in the nifedipine group within 1 year of treatment, and 2 of these patients healed with an additional course of topical nifedipine and lidocaine ointment."

"to test the efficacy of a new preparation of nifedipine .... adverse events that necessitated removing the blinding from the study. ..."

"Removing the blind required both parties to co-operate. The blind was not removed until all results had been returned by all test labs, checked, ..."

revealing the code
Hello,
There is a code that only those conducting the study as well as the pharmacists administering the drugs to the study participants know. This code represents a certain medicine and dosage unknown to the patients. After the study, I assume it's revealed it to them.
levée d'aveugle = bringing out of the dark
See link below. It explains it pretty well.
I hope this helps.
