Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Bone marrow suppression: Anemia, neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia have been reported, including ≥ grade 3 events. Some patients required RBC transfusions.
• Secondary malignancy: Myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) have been reported (rarely).

Dosage form specific issues:
• Propylene glycol: Some dosage forms may contain propylene glycol; large amounts are potentially toxic and have been associated with hyperosmolality, lactic acidosis, seizures, and respiratory depression; use caution (AAP 1997; Zar 2007).
Other warnings/precautions:
• Genetic mutation status: Select patients for the treatment of HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer based on the presence of germline BRCA-mutations. Select patients for the treatment of homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer based on the presence of alterations in genes directly or indirectly involved in HRR (ATM, ATR, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDK12, CHEK2, FANCA, MLH1, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, or RAD51C). Information on approved tests for the detection of genetic mutations may be found at http://www.fda.gov/companiondiagnostics.

The American Society of Clinical Oncology hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening and management provisional clinical opinion (ASCO [Hwang 2020]) recommends HBV screening with hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, total Ig or IgG, and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen prior to beginning (or at the beginning of) systemic anticancer therapy; do not delay treatment for screening/results. Detection of chronic or past HBV infection requires a risk assessment to determine antiviral prophylaxis requirements, monitoring, and follow-up.
Talazoparib is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor, including PARP1 and PARP2. PARP enzymes are involved in DNA transcription, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair. Talazoparib is a potent PARP inhibitor, with both strong catalytic inhibition and a PARP-trapping potential that is significantly greater than other PARP inhibitors (Litton 2018). Catalytic inhibition causes cell death due to accumulation of irreparable DNA damage; talazoparib also traps PARP-DNA complexes, which may be more effective in cell death than enzymatic inhibition alone (Litton 2018).
Distribution: Vd: 420 L.
Protein binding: 74%.
Metabolism: Minimal hepatic metabolism; metabolic pathways include mono-oxidation, dehydrogenation, cysteine conjugation of mono-desfluoro-talazoparib, and glucuronide conjugation.
Half-life elimination: 90 (±58) hours.
Time to peak: 1 to 2 hours.
Excretion: Urine: ~69% (54.6% as unchanged drug); Feces: ~20% (13.6% as unchanged drug).
Clearance: 6.45 L/hours.
Altered kidney function: Steady-state exposure (AUC0-24) and peak concentration (Cmax) increased by 43% and 163% and 32% and 89% in patients with moderate (eGFR 30 to 59 mL/minute/1.73 m2) and severe (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/minute/1.73 m2) kidney function impairment, respectively, compared to patients with normal kidney function.
