Contrary to being detrimental, the longer time frame is some proof that the drug is working just fine. Keep in mind that the the time between the three analysis periods is measured in number of ADVERSE EVENTS. Therefore, the longer the time period, the lesser the ADVERSE EVENTS, albeit, the drug must be working. As an example if the time period between the first and second analysis was only two weeks......that would mean that 1/3 of the adverse events occured in just two weeks and would clearly indicate that the drug was not working well.
