What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase II Lung-MAP trial studies how well rucaparib works in treating patients with genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) high and/or deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation stage IV non-small cell lung cancer or that has come back. Rucaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This trial is for adults with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer that have high genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or harmful BRCA1/2 mutations. Participants must be able to take oral medications, not have certain liver conditions, infections, or recent major surgeries. They should not have had prior treatment with PARP inhibitors and must agree to use effective contraception if of reproductive potential.
