WHAT RUBRACA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT RUBRACA IS AND HOW IT WORKS
Rubraca contains the active substance rucaparib. Rubraca is an
anti-cancer medicine, also known as a
‘PARP (poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase) inhibitor’.
Patients with changes (mutations) in genes called BRCA are at risk of
developing a number of types of
cancer. Rubraca blocks an enzyme that repairs damaged DNA in the
cancer cells, resulting in their
death.
WHAT RUBRACA IS USED FOR
Rubraca is used to treat a type of cancer of the ovary. It is used as
maintenance therapy immediately
after a course of chemotherapy that has caused the tumour to shrink.
