ClinicalTrials.gov · August 11, 2026
Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a completed phase 1/2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial of sodium pentaborate pentahydrate in 177 people with overweight or obesity. The registry record contains no results, making it impossible to assess safety or efficacy claims at this stage. The trial has finished recruitment, but outcome data have not been posted or published through this registry.

No efficacy or safety results are reported in this registry record; recruitment completion does not imply data release or publication. Duration of follow-up beyond 12 weeks, adverse event rates, and effect sizes on body weight and glycemic measures are not provided.
This trial cannot yet inform clinical practice because results have not been reported. Once published, outcomes in a small phase 1/2 cohort may inform safety assessment and signal efficacy worthy of larger trials, but would not be sufficient alone to change clinical management.
Phase 1/2 interventional trial with completed enrollment but no results posted in this registry record; design and population are defined but efficacy and safety outcomes remain unreported.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
