Published in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing 1 min read

Rucaparib, known by its brand name Rubraca®, is currently owned and made by pharmaand GmbH (pharma&).

This ownership transfer ensures the continued availability and development of this important medication for patients.

Understanding Rucaparib

Rucaparib is a targeted therapy that works by inhibiting PARP enzymes, which are involved in DNA repair. By blocking these enzymes, rucaparib can prevent cancer cells with specific DNA repair deficiencies from repairing their damaged DNA, leading to cell death. It is primarily used for the treatment of certain types of ovarian cancer.
