Nothing in the window: no trial reporting longer life or longer disease-free life in people was
found dated 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-17. Two older things were seen that the record does not name and
that fall short of the test: a Nature Biotechnology report of September 2026 (exact date not seen)
that the lung-disease drug rentosertib lowered six ageing-clock readings in 42 patients over twelve
weeks, which is a clock result for the measuring branch and not extra years; and the VITAL-H trial
announced by UT Health San Antonio on 2026-02-25, funded with up to 38 million dollars by the United
States agency ARPA-H, which plans to give rapamycin, dapagliflozin or semaglutide against placebo to
726 adults in their sixties for three years, with a composite of physical and mental function
(intrinsic capacity) as its outcome rather than lifespan or time to disease, and which in April 2026
was still waiting for ethics approval. The TAME search is listed under the metformin leaf too; it
found no funding news in the window.
The Upgrade Tree shows it at shown in animals, which agrees.

Nothing in the window: no approval, conditional or full, of any dog-lifespan drug was found, and no
company post, regulator notice or peer-reviewed trial report dated 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-17. The
newest items seen were the company's safety-section acceptance of 2026-01-13, which the record
already holds, a report that the company raised a 100 million dollar funding round in February 2026
(funding, not the record), and company pages saying the manufacturing section is the one outstanding
step with the application expected in 2027, as the record says. The company's newsroom and the
regulator's list of conditional approvals could not be opened from this session (the network refused
loyal.com and fda.gov), so the first fact on the verify list, that no regulator had approved such a
drug as of 2026-10-17, stays checked by search only.

Nothing in the window: no controlled trial of a mitochondria-renewing or mitochondria-protecting
drug on muscle in people was found dated 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-17, and no regulator's approval. The
searches returned the trials the record already holds (the 2022 JAMA Network Open trial of 66 older
adults with a gain in muscle endurance, and the 2022 Cell Reports Medicine trial in middle-aged
adults with a strength gain of about 12 per cent), company material from 2020 to 2022, and a bioRxiv
preprint posted 2025-10-30 on the uncoupler BAM15 in animal models of sarcopenia, which is a
preprint and an animal result, so it bears on no rung above the one already reached.

Nothing in the window: no new approval, trial report or uptake figure dated 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-17
was found, and the company's newsroom could not be opened from this session. One older record bears
on the wide-use test and the record does not name it: a study by Scannell and colleagues published
in The American Journal of Managed Care on 2026-07-09, using IQVIA prescription data from September
2023 to September 2024, found that the heart-prevention approval of 2024-03-08 and the Medicare
coverage that followed were associated with about 592,624 extra Wegovy fills, a 136 per cent rise,
yet six months after the Medicare announcement fewer than one per cent of the roughly 3.6 million
Medicare beneficiaries estimated to be eligible on weight and heart grounds had filled a Wegovy
prescription. Five searches were run for this leaf, one over the brief's cap, because the first four
found nothing on uptake; all five are listed.
Left for the author. The settler names published uptake figures for the wide-use rung, and the notes say the rung stays
at clinical use until uptake figures for the heart-prevention purpose are in hand. This 2026-07-09
study is such a figure, and it points the other way from the estimate's earliest year of 2027: under
one per cent of eligible Medicare beneficiaries in the first six months, in one country and one
payer, with data ending September 2024. I would add it to the publications log, cite it in the
leaf's notes as the first uptake figure on record, and consider whether the earliest year for wide
use should move later. It is dated before the window and bears on the estimate rather than the
stage, so it is the author's call; and the article's own page could not be opened, so the citation
below is from search summaries only. To log in the publications log once its page has been read, as
the reading's rule asks: Changes in Semaglutide Fills Following Expanded FDA and Medicare Policies

Nothing in the window: no peer-reviewed controlled trial of an NAD-raising compound on an
age-related function dated 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-17 was found, and no regulator's approval. Older
items seen and falling short: a December 2025 pilot of nicotinamide riboside in 52 people with mild
cognitive impairment (NAD rose, cognition did not improve); a ClinicalTrials.gov entry (NCT04571008,
Effect of NMN Supplementation on Organ System Biology) showing results first posted 2026-03-11 and
last updated 2026-08-17, which is a registry posting and not a peer-reviewed report, and whose
findings were not visible; and a 2026 company document describing a 66-person trial of nicotinamide
riboside with exercise in Friedreich's ataxia, an inherited disease rather than an age-related
function. None of these moves the leaf, which is already at first human and whose next rung is a
regulator's approval.

Nothing in the window: no trial report, registry change, funding announcement or regulator's step on
metformin for ageing dated 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-17 was found. The verify item stays open: the 2026
web pages still disagree (one explainer says enrolment is ongoing; one page updated 2026-06-14 says
no one has been enrolled and the trial is stalled for lack of money), both are secondary, and the
registry entry could not be opened because this session's network refused clinicaltrials.gov; the
registry number NCT04370067 came from a search summary and is itself unchecked. One thing seen that
the record does not say, outside the window: the ARPA-H-funded VITAL-H trial announced 2026-02-25
(rapamycin, dapagliflozin, semaglutide; 726 adults; 38 million dollars) does not include metformin,
so it does not bear on this leaf's test, though it shows that public money for a healthspan trial of
generic drugs has been found once.

Nothing in the window: no peer-reviewed report of a person's tissue function improving after a
mitochondrial transplant, and no regulator's approval, dated 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-17 was found.
Older items seen and falling short: an Iranian registry entry dated 2026-06-03 for a planned
randomised, blinded phase I study of platelet-derived mitochondria in about ten stroke patients (a
protocol, safety outcomes only); a phase 1 study of the product MNV-201 in low-risk myelodysplastic
syndrome reported at the December 2025 haematology meeting with five patients and no control group;
and a 2026 Nature paper on cell-type-targeted mitochondrial transplantation whose functional
evidence is from cells and mice. Nothing was found on the Taiwan trial the verify list asks about.

Nothing in the window: no peer-reviewed controlled trial of an mTOR drug at an ageing dose in older
people, and no regulator's approval or published clinic practice, dated 2026-10-10 to 2026-10-17 was
found. The searches returned the 2025 PEARL trial the record already holds, three registered trials
with no results (RESTOR, NCT06658093, a dose-finding study of rapamycin and everolimus in people
aged 65 to 90 at San Antonio, described on radio on 2026-05-31; the Everolimus Aging Study,
NCT05835999, daily against weekly against placebo; and the Wisconsin RAP PAC phase 1 study,
NCT05949658, still enrolling), and an undated preprint reporting lower p21 in immune cells of older
adults on rapamycin against placebo, which is not peer-reviewed.

Claim Nothing in the window bears on the start of the trial. The results were the NPR coverage of
2024-04-22 (the trial waits on money) and older background; one page that reads as a machine-written
summary asserts that the trial is registered as ongoing in 2026 with nobody enrolled, which is not a
primary source and contradicts the record's own check of ClinicalTrials.gov on 2026-10-16. The
registry could not be opened on 2026-10-17 to re-check, so the missed verdict stands as written.

Claim Nothing in the window. No approval of LOY-002 or any other Loyal drug was found; the newest company
items seen are the posts of 2026-01-13 (safety section accepted) and 2026-02-11 (financing) that the
record already holds, and third-party pieces (BroBible, SDP Noticias, presse-citron, a Manifold
prediction market) repeat that the manufacturing section is expected to be reviewed in 2027. A Fast
Company piece headlined with two hundred and fifty million dollars for Loyal appeared in the results
undated and could not be opened; if it is a new round it belongs to the leaf, not this claim, and
does not touch the verdict of missed. The company's posts page could not be opened from this
session.

Self-experiment Only one search could be run on 2026-10-17 (the shared search budget was then refused) and his
protocol page could not be opened. The search returned nothing dated in the window: a Wikipedia
summary mentioning a 60 million dollar raise for Blueprint in an October with no year given, and
Gyre Renwick named chief executive of Blueprint in 2025-07 (consistent with the record's 2025-07
line), plus several undated or 2026-07-31 content-farm pages giving a pace of ageing of about 0.64
with no source. Nothing in the window bears on the public record paragraph, which still holds on
what was seen.

Self-experiment Only one search could be run on 2026-10-17. It returned the 2023 Fortune pieces and the
InsideTracker page the record already uses, with the same about-ten-years-younger claim, and nothing
dated 2026-10. Nothing in the window; the verify line about a missing update to his own-age claim is
neither settled nor contradicted.

Self-experiment Only one search could be run on 2026-10-17. It returned a priority review by David Barzilai in the
journal Aging (volume 17, issue 1, pages 1 to 15, listed on PubMed as 39808121 and in PMC as
PMC11810056, dated 2025-01 on the snippet) on his hyperfunction theory and rapamycin, the journal's
call for papers for a commemorative collection, and his 2023 Oncotarget perspective; all before the
window, and none gives his birth date or a start date for his own use, so neither verify line is
settled. The programme ended with his death in 2024-10 and nothing seen changes that.

episodes (the record's own source), and nothing dated 2026-10. Nothing in the window; he still
publishes a regimen and claims nothing about his own ageing on what was seen.
