Rucaparib was granted FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation in April 2015 [A18745] and accelerated approval in December 2016.[A249240] The drug was later approved by the European Commission in May 2018.[L42185] It is currently used to treat recurrent ovarian and prostate cancer in adults.[L42155][L42185]
[L44572]
Under accelerated approval by the FDA, rucaparib is also indicated 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 and a taxane-based chemotherapy.

Rucaparib inhibits PARP1, PARP2, and PARP3.[L42155] Inhibiting PARP traps the enzyme on damaged DNA, halting the repair process and forming toxic PARP–DNA complexes. Alternatively, other DNA repair processes such as error-prone nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) or alternative end-joining pathways can be initiated, leading to mutations or chromosomal change.[A31354] Further DNA damage can trigger cancer cell apoptosis and cell death.[L42155]
Typically, inhibition of PARP converts single-strand breaks in DNA to double-strand breaks at replication forks. HR DNA repair pathways repair double-strand breaks; however, HR-deficient cancer cells lack this repair mechanism. Because HR-deficient cancer cells are more vulnerable to unsalvageable DNA damage, rucaparib-induced PARP inhibition leads to synthetic lethality. In this phenomenon, two non-lethal defects (HR deficiency and PARP inhibition) combine and cause cell death.[A18745][A31354]
Rucaparib decreases tumour growth in tumour cell lines with deficiencies in BRCA1/2 and other DNA repair genes.[L42155] In addition to PARP inhibition, rucaparib demonstrated PARP-independent cytotoxic mechanisms in cancer cells. When co-administered with other chemotherapeutic agents, rucaparib contributed to synergistic or additive effects in vitro and in vivo. There is evidence that rucaparib can sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy. Rucaparib can also cause vasodilation, which may increase tumour perfusion and enhance the accumulation of cytotoxic drugs in cancer cells.[A249240]
