Summary

This trial looks at whether adding the drug talazoparib to the drug enzalutamide improves progression-free survival in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Who is the study for?
Men with advanced prostate cancer that's resistant to hormone therapy (mCRPC), not severely symptomatic, and have a life expectancy of at least 12 months. Participants must have rising PSA levels, be able to swallow pills, consent to genetic testing, and use effective contraception. Excluded are those who've had seizures, significant heart disease, recent opioid treatment for cancer pain or certain prior cancer treatments.
What is being tested?
The trial is examining if adding Talazoparib (a PARP inhibitor) to Enzalutamide (an anti-androgen drug) improves outcomes compared to using Enzalutamide alone in men with mCRPC. The study measures how long patients live without the disease getting worse.
What are the potential side effects?
Talazoparib may cause blood cell count changes leading to anemia or infection risk increase; fatigue; nausea; digestive issues; and rare but serious effects on the lungs or kidneys. Enzalutamide can cause fatigue, hot flashes, high blood pressure and rarely seizures.
