YOUR SHIELD AGAINST PROGRESSION IN ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER

Fight for what matters with RUBRACA

With RUBRACA by your side, you can defend against BRCA-mutated advanced prostate cancer1*
*RUBRACA treats metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC, which is prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and that no longer responds to testosterone-lowering medical or surgical treatment.

RUBRACA is designed to help you fight BRCA-mutated advanced prostate cancer

RUBRACA is the ONLY PARPi that can be used alone following ANY androgen receptor-directed therapy and a taxane-based chemotherapy1-4†

RUBRACA has no requirement for any SPECIFIC androgen receptor-directed therapies before starting treatment1
*RUBRACA treats metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC, which is prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and that no longer responds to testosterone-lowering medical or surgical treatment.
†Patients should also receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog concurrently or should have had bilateral orchiectomy.

15% of men with advanced prostate cancer have a BRCA mutation7

Men who are of Ashkenazi Jewish descent or have a family history of certain cancers, like ovarian or breast, are more likely to have a BRCA gene mutation5

Men with a BRCA2 mutation are at higher risk for developing prostate cancer before age 805

Your healthcare provider will do blood tests before and every month during treatment with RUBRACA to monitor your blood cell counts. Weekly blood tests will be performed if you have low blood cell counts for a long time. Your healthcare provider may stop treatment with RUBRACA until your blood cell counts improve.

Avoid spending time in sunlight while on RUBRACA since your skin may become more sensitive to the sun and may sunburn more easily. You should wear a hat and clothes that cover your skin and use sunscreen to help protect against sunburn if you have to be in the sunlight.

What are the side effects of RUBRACA?
