Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube Carcinoma, Primary Peritoneal Cancer (recurrent BRCAm maintenance) 300 mg orally twice daily; continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Malignant neoplasm of breast (adjuvant, gBRCAm HER2-negative high risk early) 300 mg orally twice daily for a total of 1 year, or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
Malignant neoplasm of breast (metastatic, gBRCAm HER2-negative) 300 mg orally twice daily; continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Adenocarcinoma of pancreas 300 mg orally twice daily; continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRR gene-mutated mCRPC, monotherapy) 300 mg orally twice daily with concurrent GnRH analog or prior bilateral orchiectomy; continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Pharmacology
Talazoparib is an inhibitor of PARP enzymes (PARP1 and PARP2) involved in DNA repair; it induces cytotoxicity in cancer cells with DNA repair gene defects through inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and increased formation of PARP-DNA complexes, resulting in DNA damage, decreased cell proliferation, and apoptosis.
Olaparib is an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes (PARP1, PARP2, PARP3) involved in DNA transcription and repair; cytotoxicity occurs through inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and increased formation of PARP-DNA complexes, with enhanced activity in tumor cells harboring deficiencies in BRCA1/2, ATM, or other homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes.
