FDA approves rucaparib for BRCA-mutated advanced prostate cancer, improving progression-free survival.
The FDA has granted full approval to rucaparib (Rubraca) for adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) linked to BRCA gene mutations who have previously received androgen receptor–directed therapy.
The approval, based on the TRITON3 trial, shows rucaparib significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival (11.2 vs. 6.4 months) in BRCA-mutated patients compared to standard treatments.
Overall survival was 23.2 months with rucaparib versus 21.2 months with control, though not statistically significant.
The drug is now approved for use before chemotherapy, with common side effects including fatigue, anemia, and nausea.
It is the first PARP inhibitor to show superior progression-free survival over chemotherapy in this group.
