The Birinapant HBV clinical trial is on-going, but is not recruiting. The public has not been told how many patients still remained in the trial and whether anything has changed - a wall of silence.
Sure you can buy Birinapant, but it is for research use only. Why would anyone try it if it hasnot yet been proven safe or effective? Also, it has not been approved as a drug for cancer, it is still in Phase 2.

& i remember studyforhope said the bell's pelsy just needs two weeks for the full recovery so my assumption is to wait some data from them as scheduled.

Hope they'll surprise us with some thing since they are not on hold by FDA just  tetra stopped the trial from more disaster.

Is birinapant commercially available and is it advisable to take it despite the palsy it causes.

Oh my. Looks like the hope for Binirpant has quickly turned around. I wonder if there's a condition this person had which triggered this side effect.

We can't wait for full recovery in two weeks & proceed with their trials. Finger crossed!!!!

it is hard to predict how the fda will react. the recovery process from the palsy and speed will also determine that. it should only take 2 weeks to recover, but i dont know if they will use methylcobalamine to speed up recovery.

Good to know.  This initially worried me as I do know someone that got Bell's out of the blue and is still completely debilitated for over 2 years now, without much improvement and tons of therapy.  

Do you think they will restart the trial if others want to go forward, or do you think the FDA will shut it down?  You are very knowledgeable and I am very new to the background of how trials function.  I was really hoping for great news from this one, as I know we all were.  Let's just hope it's not a complete wash.

The Bell's palsy caused by BIRINAPANT is not the same as regular spontaneous Bell's palsy. It will typically disappear fast upon discontinuation of the drug. Methyl cobalamin injections will speed up recovery and might possibly have preventative effects. However i doubt that the situation is handled this way.
We do not know at which dose level and what frequency this problem occurred. One can only hope that the trial will continue after it has cleared up.
