Background: About one-quarter of patients with advanced prostate cancer have alterations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. In a global phase 3 study, talazoparib plus enzalutamide significantly improved progression-free survival in patients with HRR-deficient metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Objectives: This article reviews the role of oncology nurses and advanced practice providers (APPs) in administering talazoparib plus enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC.

Methods: This review and hypothetical case study illustrate the role of oncology nurses and APPs in the administration of talazoparib plus enzalutamide and the management of adverse events to ensure safe and effective use in clinical practice.

Findings: Oncology nurses and APPs play an important role in the dosing and administration of talazoparib plus enzalutamide and can recognize and manage adverse events in patients with HRR-deficient mCRPC.

Background: In TALAPRO-2, the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor talazoparib plus the androgen receptor-signaling inhibitor enzalutamide improved radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) versus placebo plus enzalutamide (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.63; 95% CI, 0.51-0.

An evaluation of talazoparib plus enzalutamide for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer diagnosis among men worldwide, with poor prognosis in its advanced stage. Treatment strategies have evolved, including the use of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis).

Areas Covered: This review evaluates the clinical efficacy, safety, and future potential of combining talazoparib, a potent PARPi, with enzalutamide, a strong androgen receptor (AR) antagonist.

Background: Without head-to-head trials between talazoparib+enzalutamide (TALA + ENZA), olaparib+abiraterone acetate (OLAP + AAP), and niraparib plus AAP (NIRA + AAP) the ability to evaluate their relative efficacy as first-line (1 L) treatment in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is limited. The objective of this study was to assess the relative efficacy between TALA + ENZA (TALAPRO-2) versus OLAP + AAP (PROpel) and NIRA + AAP (MAGNITUDE) in 1 L mCRPC via a matching-adjusted indirect treatment comparison (MAIC).

Methods: Patient-level data from TALAPRO-2 and published data from PROpel and MAGNITUDE were used.

Article Synopsis
  • The TALAPRO-3 study investigates the effectiveness of combining two cancer treatments, talazoparib and enzalutamide, for patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), involving 599 participants from 27 countries.
  • mCSPC is a type of prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and responds to treatments that lower testosterone levels.
  • The study aims to determine if the combination of talazoparib and enzalutamide improves survival without disease progression compared to a placebo with enzalutamide, while also assessing side effects, overall health, and quality of life among patients.
