ProSavin is an experimental drug believed to be of use in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It is administered to the striatum in the brain, inducing production of dopamine.[1]

It is manufactured by Oxford BioMedica. Results from a Phase I/II clinical trial were published in the Lancet[2] and showed safety, but little efficacy.[3] ProSavin was superseded by AXO-Lenti-PD (OXB-102), an optimized version of the drug.[4]

Mechanism of action[edit]

Prosavin uses Oxford BioMedica's Lentivector delivery system to transfer three genes, aromatic amino acid dopa decarboxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase and GTP-cyclohydrolase 1, to the striatum in the brain, reprogramming transduced cellstosecrete dopamine.[5][6]
