Empros Pharma Pressrelease 2023-05-25 eng.pdf About Empros
Empros Pharma is developing EMP16, an anti-obesity drug that is planned to be ready for launch in 2027. EMP16 is unique in the field of obesity as safety can be bridged from previous products, i.e. the phase lll-program is much smaller compared to all other upcoming products. EMP16 has already shown efficacy in a 6-month clinical trial and will be one of the first obesity drug products to be launched after the expected launch of Mounjaro. Empros Pharma was founded in 2013 by researchers and entrepreneurs at Uppsala University with the investor Flerie Invest. The EMP16 product has shown its effectiveness in a proof-of-concept clinical trial, recently published in Obesity: Effects of a novel weightloss combination product containing orlistat and acarbose on obesity: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial - Holmbäck et al. Obesity (Silver Spring). 2022 Nov;30(11):2222-2232
Canaccord Genuity is acting as exclusive business development advisor for EMP16 and organizations with an interest in commercializing EMP16 are encouraged to contact Issac Jacob at Canaccord.
