Sobrera focuses on research and development of new treatments within psychiatry with an initial focus on addition disorders. The product SO-001 constitutes a new concept in treating AUD, directing its effect on the dopamine system, which plays an important role in the reward system and in addictive disorders. Preclinical data has shown promising results and a phase II study is now ongoing to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the new therapy in patients with AUD.

Alcohol addiction is a common and serious health issue globally, and a major cause of mortality and morbidity. New and improved therapies are needed to help better manage this condition.
