Right, there's an important distinction between a request for information DURING the first phase of assessment when the assessors are requesting clarification or information from clinical trial sites etc., (as Northwest Bio stated they would in their PR) and a request for information AFTER the initial assessment phase has been completed. If there is still clarification or information needed at that point after the initial assessment, then the assessment clock stops, until the information is provided. This will obviously add time to the length of the total assessment beyond the 150 days, while the information requested during the initial assessment will not.
