Rubraca - (pronounced) (roo-BRAH-cow) drug used to treat adults with certain types of prostate or ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. Rubraca blocks an enzyme involved in many cell functions, including repairing DNA damage. Blocking this enzyme can help prevent cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. Rubraca is a type of PARP inhibitor. Also called AG014699, PARP-1 inhibitor AG014699 and rucaparib camsylate
