EMB-001 Recent Developments
In December 2019, Embera NeuroTherapeutics announced completion of its Series B financing and the receipt of two grant awards which will fund Phase II clinical studies for EMB-001 in cocaine use disorder and smoking cessation. EMB-001 is designed to help patients struggling with addiction to maintain abstinence and improve their quality of life by simultaneously targeting multiple neurological pathways that play a role in stress-induced, cue-induced and drug-induced addiction relapse.

EMB-001 Drug Summary
EMB-001 is a patented, first-in-class combination product from Embera NeuroTherapeutics comprising two FDA-approved drugs: the cortisol synthesis inhibitor metyrapone (Metopirone) and the benzodiazepine receptor agonist oxazepam, designed as an oral therapy to target the stress response system implicated in addiction and relapse. It reduces stress-induced hyperactivity in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis triggered by drug cues, thereby potentially decreasing cravings and loss of control in substance use disorders including cocaine, nicotine, methamphetamine, and tobacco use disorders, with a novel mechanism distinct from existing treatments. Phase I trials (e.g., NCT02406066, NCT02856854) confirmed safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics at low doses, while a Phase Ib cocaine interaction study showed no new safety signals when co-administered with cocaine; preclinical and pilot human data support efficacy in reducing addiction behaviors, with plans for Phase II advancement in cocaine and tobacco use disorders, though development appears stalled since around 2017. The report provides EMB-001’s sales, growth barriers and drivers, post usage and approvals in multiple indications.
