NCT01891344; ARIEL2 II Rucaparib A Phase 2, Open-Label Study of Rucaparib in Patients With Platinum-Sensitive, Relapsed, High-Grade Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer (ARIEL2)

Administration of rucaparib as active treatment should be considered in earlier lines of therapy before the emergence of platinum resistance. RAD51C/D mutation and high-level BRCA1 promotor methylation predict response to rucaparib, similar to BRCA1/2 mutations, but LOH high is only predictive of response in platinum-sensitive patients
