Minor correction: the metformin trial study (TAME) is not currently underway; they are still waiting for the FDA to designate aging as an “indication” to be treated (and also raising funding).
It got the necessary approval in 2015 and in 2019 a rich private individual seems to have given them the missing 40$ million to run the trial: https://www.longevity.technology/worlds-first-anti-aging-trial-gets-green-light/ and the plan was to start the trial at the end of 2019. It might very well be running currently. Maybe someone else has more info?

Good writeup, though, thanks!

Oh, interesting, thanks for the correction! I was just going by their website (linked in the OP), which may not have been updated since 2015(?!).
