The below long article from a Zacks analyst is titled: "PLX: Pandemic Backup Impedes FDA Site Survey"
You can read the part called "FDA CRLs Have Become Common". I copied some of it below called "next steps" which discusses Protalix a bit.

Next Steps
Following the issuance of a CRL, there are several steps that are common for all candidates. The sponsor has 90 days following the issuance of a CRL to schedule a Type A meeting with the FDA to cover any questions related to the letter. When the sponsor makes the request, the FDA has 30 days to hold the meeting, after which notes from the gathering will be provided. Explained in the CRL and clarified in the meeting, the FDA will outline the steps needed to address the discrepancies presented. In general, these could include additional trials, further questions, bridging studies among other needs. When the requested deliverables are ready, the sponsor may then resubmit the application which will then be considered a Class 1 or Class 2 resubmission. A Class 1 resubmission offers a two month turnaround time and generally deals with simpler issues such as labeling, stability and safety updates, discussion of post-marketing requirements, assay validation data, minor reanalysis, final release testing or other minor issues. A Class 2 resubmission is any item that does not fall under Class 1 and/or requires presentation to an advisory committee and requires a six month turnaround time.
Based on our reading of the press release, it appears that the only discrepancies that exist are related to FDA inspections. Solving the discrepancies appears to be outside of the influence of Protalix and in our opinion not a justification for a CRL. We have noted that the FDA appears to have insufficient resources to meet its mission according to the timelines and performance benchmarks required by the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). Given these limitations, the agency appears to be forced to issue a CRL when it is unable to comply with the requirements for approval.
Normally, we anticipate a several month delay to the approval process when a CRL is issued. In this case it appears that addressing the defect relies on the FDA performing an on-site visit. Assuming that the inspection could take place in the next two months, followed by a resubmission the subsequent month and classification as a Class 1 resubmission, there is a minimum of five to six months before an approval could be granted. This timeline could be extended and we expect further clarity on this matter following the notes from an anticipated Type A meeting.
