Confused a bit by the article: it mentions human trials began in september 2024, but also that the trials that might prove it working are yet to start?

I think it's just poorly written. If you go to the source[1] the trial period was planned from September 2024 to August 2025, and the submission says people are "undergoing" a trial. Perhaps it got delayed, or, more likely IMHO, the trial period is over and they're studying the data so haven't made reached a conclusion yet.

It’s a phase 1 clinical trial designed only to assess safety and determine the appropriate dosage. Future trials will focus on efficacy.
