It's not the type of trial, it's the name, so it may be best to leave it in English. It's a play on words, since this disorder affects the head. "Heads up" has two meanings:

Hence the initial capitals.
The trial name is often an acronym:
"As with any clinical trial, a catchy name is critical to its success. The formal title for this trial (“A Pragmatic Trial of Home versus Office-Based Narrowband Ultraviolet B Phototherapy for the Treatment of Psoriasis”) is a bit of a mouthful, and we can’t think of a good acronym (APTHOBNUBPTP doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue). That’s where YOU, THE PATIENT come in. We need you to give it a clever acronym that people can use to talk about the trial in conversation."

: On the one hand I agree with you that being a play of words this trial should probably keep its name. However given that trials are given such names so they can easily be remembered and identified doesn't it make sense that we should try "tete haute"
