Solvonis Therapeutics (SVNS): Rewriting the Standard of Care for Severe Alcohol Use Disorder

In this special episode of Healthcare Happenings, the first in a two‑part series, Anthony Tennyson, CEO of Solvonis Therapeutics (LSE: SVNS), joins host Tim Gerdeman and WTR analyst Robert Sassoon to discuss the company’s strategy in addiction and psychiatry — a field with significant unmet need and limited effective treatment options. Anthony walks through SVN‑001, a ketamine‑based therapy for severe alcohol use disorder now in Phase 3 in the UK, and SVN‑002, a U.S.-focused program targeting the much larger moderate‑to‑severe alcohol use disorder market. He also explains why Solvonis may not yet be fully recognized compared to its U.S.-listed peers. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week with Professor David Nutt, Chief Scientific Officer of Solvonis, who unpacks the neuroscience behind SVN‑001, the search for a better MDMA, and where psychedelic‑assisted addiction therapy is headed.
