The given timelines also apply to any designated ECs.
In most cases, requests for permission to conduct clinical trials are answered by INFARMED, CEIC, and CNPD within 60 days, if the applications are submitted concurrently.
NB! Hospital administrations may delay the approval even after receiving authorization from INFARMED/ CEIC/ CNPD because of several internal requirements.
