Solvonis CEO: Phase III is where the real value gets created

Solvonis Therapeutics PLC (LSE:SVNS) CEO Anthony Tennyson tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that 2025 was a transformational year, marked by the acquisition of Awakn Life Sciences, a strategic rebrand, and a sharp refocus on high-burden CNS disorders. The centrepiece of the conversation is lead programme SVN-001 and the decision to take it through phase III rather than pursue an early licensing deal. Tennyson is direct about the rationale: shareholder value is greater at the end of a successful phase III than before it. Phase II data for SVN-001 in severe alcohol use disorder showed meaningfully improved sobriety outcomes, and the broader pipeline — including SVN-002 and early-stage asset SVN-015 — continues to advance across addiction and psychiatry. Tennyson also flags improving conditions in the US, with growing regulatory and investor support providing a useful tailwind for the sector.
