12.1 Mechanism of Action Rucaparib is an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, including PARP-1, PARP-2, and PARP-3, which play a role in DNA repair. In vitro studies have shown that rucaparib-induced cytotoxicity may involve inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and increased formation of PARP-DNA complexes resulting in DNA damage, apoptosis, and cancer cell death. Increased rucaparib-induced cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity was observed in tumor cell lines with deficiencies in BRCA1/2 and other DNA repair genes. Rucaparib has been shown to decrease tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of human cancer with or without deficiencies in BRCA .

The pooled safety population for patients with ovarian and prostate cancer in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section reflect exposure to RUBRACA at 600 mg orally twice daily in 2141 patients treated on clinical trials including ARIEL3, TRITON2, and TRITON3. In ARIEL3 among the patients who received RUBRACA, 57% of patients were exposed for 6 months or longer and 33% were exposed for greater than one year. In TRITON3 among the patients with BRCA-mutated mCRPC who received RUBRACA, 66% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 34% were exposed for greater than one year. In the pooled safety population for patients with ovarian cancer, the most common adverse reactions in ≥ 10% of patients were nausea (68%), asthenia/fatigue (65%), anemia/hemoglobin decreased (45%), AST/ALT increased (39%), vomiting (36%), diarrhea (29%), decreased appetite (27%), thrombocytopenia/platelet count decreased (25%), dysgeusia (24%), neutropenia/neutrophil count decreased (21%), blood creatinine increased (17%), dyspnea (16%), dizziness (14%), dyspepsia (11%), photosensitivity reaction (10%), and leukopenia/white blood cell count decreased (10%). In the pooled safety population for patients with BRCA -mutated mCRPC (N=373) from TRITON2 and TRITON3, the most common adverse reactions in ≥ 10% of patients were fatigue/asthenia (61%), musculoskeletal pain (52%), nausea (52%), anemia/decreased hemoglobin (49%), decreased appetite (35%), increased ALT/AST (31%), constipation (30%), diarrhea (27%), vomiting (26%), thrombocytopenia/decreased platelet count (21%), dyspnea (20%), increased blood creatinine (19%), edema (19%), dizziness (19%), weight decreased (16%), abdominal pain (15%), dysgeusia (15%), rash (13%), neuropathy peripheral (13%), urinary tract infection (13%), cough (12%), headache (12%), hemorrhage (12%), neutropenia/decreased neutrophil count (12%), and photosensitivity reaction (10%). Maintenance Treatment of BRCA -mutated Recurrent Ovarian Cancer The safety of RUBRACA for the maintenance treatment of patients with BRCA -mutated recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer was investigated in ARIEL3, a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which 195 patients with a deleterious BRC A mutation received either RUBRACA 600 mg orally twice daily (n=129) or placebo (n=66) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of study treatment was 13.6 months (range: < 1 month to 39 months) for patients who received RUBRACA and 5.5 months for patients who received placebo. Dose interruptions due to an adverse reaction of any grade occurred in 67% of patients receiving RUBRACA and 14% of those receiving placebo; dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 57% of RUBRACA patients and 6% of placebo patients. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to dose interruption or dose reduction of RUBRACA were thrombocytopenia (25%), anemia (19%), ALT/AST increased (16%), fatigue/asthenia (14%), and nausea (10%). Discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 15% of RUBRACA patients and 5% of placebo patients. Specific adverse reactions that most frequently led to discontinuation in patients treated with RUBRACA were thrombocytopenia (4%), nausea (3%), and anemia (2%). Table 2 describes the adverse reactions occurring in ≥20% of patients; while Table 3 describes the laboratory abnormalities occurring in ≥25% of patients occurring in ARIEL3. Table 2.

[see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )]. TRITON3 was a randomized, open-label, multi-center study, in which 298 patients with a deleterious BRCA mutation received either RUBRACA 600 mg twice daily (n=201) or physicians choice (n=97) of abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide, or docetaxel until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 10 cycles for docetaxel. Among the patients who received RUBRACA, 66% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 34% were exposed for greater than one year. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 27% of patients receiving RUBRACA. Serious adverse reactions in ≥2% of patients included anemia (4%), pneumonia (4%), urinary tract infection (3%), acute kidney injury (3%), myocardial ischemia/infarction (2%), and pulmonary embolism (2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1.5% of patients treated with RUBRACA, including cardiac failure, myocardial ischemia, and sepsis (1 patient each).

12.3 Pharmacokinetics The AUC and C max of rucaparib demonstrated linear pharmacokinetics over a dose range from 240 mg to 840 mg twice daily (0.4 times to 1.4 times the approved recommended dosage). The mean (coefficient of variation [CV]) steady-state rucaparib C max is 1,940 ng/mL (54%) and AUC 0-12h is 16,900 h×ng/mL (54%) at the approved recommended dosage. The mean AUC accumulation ratio is 3.5 to 6.2 fold. Absorption The median T max (min, max) at the steady state is 1.9 hours (0, 5.98) at the approved recommended dosage. The mean (min, max) absolute bioavailability is 36% (30%, 45%). Effect of Food Following a high-fat meal (approximately 800-1000 calories, including approximately 250 calories from carbohydrates, approximately 500-600 calories from fat, approximately 150 calories from protein), the C max was increased by 20%, AUC 0-24h was increased by 38%, and the T max was delayed by 2.5 hours, as compared to fasted conditions [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . Distribution The mean apparent volume of distribution is 2300 L (21%). Rucaparib is 70% bound to human plasma proteins in vitro. Rucaparib preferentially distributed to red blood cells with a blood-to-plasma concentration ratio of 1.8. Elimination The mean apparent total clearance at steady state is 44.2 L/h (45%) and the mean terminal elimination half-life is 26 (39%) hours. Metabolism In vitro, rucaparib is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 and to a lesser extent by CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. In addition to CYP-based oxidation, rucaparib also undergoes N-demethylation, N-methylation, and glucuronidation. Excretion Following a single oral dose of radiolabeled rucaparib, unchanged rucaparib accounted for 64% of the radioactivity. Rucaparib accounted for 45% and 95% of radioactivity in urine and feces, respectively. Specific Populations Age (20 to 86 years), race (White, Black, and Asian), sex, body weight (41 to 171 kg), mild to moderate renal impairment (CLcr ≥ 30 mL/min), mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin < ULN and AST > ULN or total bilirubin 1 to 1.5 x ULN and any AST), and CYP2D6 or CYP1A2 genotype polymorphisms did not have a clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of rucaparib. The effect of severe renal impairment (CLcr 15 to 29 mL/min), end-stage renal disease (CLcr < 15 mL/min), or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3 x ULN and any AST) has not been studied. Hepatic Impairment Moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3 x ULN and any AST) increased rucaparib AUC by 45%, but had no effect on C max compared to patients with normal hepatic function. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches Effect of Other Drugs on Rucaparib Concomitant administration of Rubraca with a proton pump inhibitor had no clinically meaningful effect on steady-state concentrations of rucaparib. Effect of Rucaparib on Other Drugs Concomitant administration of Rubraca with rosuvastatin (BCRP substrate) had no clinically meaningful effect on the concentrations of rosuvastatin. Coadministration of Rubraca with the following substrates increased the C max of each coadministered substrate by ≤ 1.1-fold and increased the AUC of each substrate as follows: Caffeine (CYP1A2): by 2.6-fold Midazolam (CYP3A4): by 1.4-fold Warfarin (CYP2C9): by 1.5-fold Omeprazole (CYP2C19): by 1.6-fold Digoxin (P-glycoprotein): by 1.2-fold Concomitant administration of Rubraca with an oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel (CYP3A substrates): increased ethinylestradiol AUC by 1.4-fold and levonorgestrel AUC by 1.6-fold, but did not have a clinically meaningful effect on their C max . In Vitro Studies Cytochrome P450 (CYP) Enzymes : Rucaparib inhibited CYP2C8 and CYP2D6 and induced CYP1A2. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) Enzymes : Rucaparib inhibited UGT1A1. Transporter Systems : Rucaparib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP. Rucaparib is not a substrate of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2. Rucaparib inhibited OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, MATE1, MATE2-K, OCT1, OCT2, and MRP4. Rucaparib did not inhibit MRP2, MRP3, or BSEP.
