Indications & Usage
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE RUBRACA is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor indicated: Ovarian cancer for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with a deleterious BRCA mutation (germline and/or somatic)-associated recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. ( 1.1 ) Prostate cancer for the treatment of adult patients with a deleterious BRCA mutation (germline and/or somatic)-associated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have been treated with androgen receptor-directed therapy. Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for RUBRACA. ( 1.2 , 2.1 ) 1.1 Maintenance Treatment of BRCA -mutated Recurrent Ovarian Cancer RUBRACA is indicated for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with a deleterious BRCA mutation (germline and/or somatic)-associated recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. 1.2 BRCA -mutated Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer RUBRACA is indicated for the treatment of adult pati…
Dosage & Administration
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Recommended dose is 600 mg orally twice daily with or without food. ( 2.2 ) Continue treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ( 2.2 ) For adverse reactions, consider interruption of treatment or dose reduction. ( 2.3 ) Patients receiving RUBRACA for mCRPC should also receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog concurrently or should have had bilateral orchiectomy. ( 2.2 ) 2.1 Patient Selection Maintenance Treatment of BRCA -mutated Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Select patients for the maintenance treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer with RUBRACA based on the presence of a deleterious BRCA mutation (germline and/or somatic) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )]. An FDA-approved test for the detection of deleterious germline and/or somatic BRCA mutations is not currently available. Treatment of BRCA -mutated mCRPC after Androgen Receptor-directed Therapy Select patients for the treatment of mCRPC with RUBRACA based on the presence of a deleterious BRCA mutation (germline and/or somatic) in plasma specimens [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )].

Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Effect of Rubraca on Other Drugs Certain CYP1A2, CYP3A, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 Substrates Concomitant administration of Rubraca with CYP1A2, CYP3A, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 substrates can increase the systemic exposure of these substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the frequency or severity of adverse reactions of these substrates. If concomitant administration is unavoidable between Rubraca and substrates of these enzymes where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions, decrease the substrate dosage in accordance with the approved prescribing information. If concomitant administration with warfarin (a CYP2C9 substrate) cannot be avoided, consider increasing the frequency of international normalized ratio (INR) monitoring.
Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling: Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )].
