This is off-topic, but can someone educate me on how to read clinicaltrails.gov? When looking at a trial page, it's hard for me to tell the result of the trial. Usually it just says "Completed" with "No results posted". Also, it doesn't show which phase the study is in, with no history of the previous phases.


Phase is listed, this trial was phase 1 and 2 (2a in particular according to the paper). The summary usually contains motivating background information about why they’re taking this approach.

The results haven’t been posted directly, but there is a publication linked that has some of the results so far.

A lot of this stuff is not rigidly structured - with a mix between recording actual data, references to actual data, or just having the study design if the trial is still early.
