My theory, and it is only that, is that the FDA staff which hates the 6 month review regulation turned this into a 9 month review by rejecting the application on ministerial changes that could have been handled a few weeks ago with a phone call. I know the company feels blindsided and I do not blame them.

An echo of your thoughts, from the Bioworld piece:

Dietz said he is "baffled" by the actions. "I came to the quick conclusion that the FDA was trying to buy a little time," he said. "I think they have so many priority review applications that they just needed a little extra time. The basis of the FDA's comments seem so trivial that one would have expected them to be addressed during the review sessions rather than up front before accepting the BLA. It seems more like a delaying tactic than the FDA having actual issues with the filing."

PB, thanks for the link...
