All:
Many of us will have seen the npj Aging and Mechanisms of Disease news story "The first human clinical study for NMN has started in Japan" that accompanied the Elysium Basis trial. It linked the entry in the Japanese clinical trial registry. Here are the English-language registry entries for current and upcoming NMN trials there:
