Talazoparib for advanced breast cancer with a DNA repair defect
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug called talazoparib (a PARP inhibitor) for advanced breast cancer that has a specific DNA repair defect (HRD) or a BRCA mutation. The goal is to see if the drug works better when the patient's tumor is tested for this defect just before treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your breast cancer is either high-grade ER-positive/HER2-negative, triple-negative, or has a BRCA mutation or a positive HRD test (RECAP)
- Your cancer is locally advanced (cannot be cured) or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic)
- You have a tumor that can be biopsied (not in the lung or bone)
- You are in reasonably good health (able to care for yourself and do light activity)
- You have had 4 or fewer previous chemotherapy treatments for advanced disease
- You have not had radiation or other cancer drugs within the last 2–4 weeks

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies talazoparib (a targeted pill) in people with advanced breast cancer whose tumors have problems repairing certain DNA damage. If your tumor has these specific “DNA repair” defects, the medicine may work better and stop the cancer from growing.
This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapies (saruparib plus camizestrant or hormone therapy) against standard treatments for people with a specific type of advanced breast cancer. It may be a good option if you have a BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene mutation and have not yet had treatment for your advanced disease.
This Phase 2 trial tests talazoparib, a targeted cancer medicine, in people with metastatic breast cancer that has a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation found in tumor DNA circulating in the blood. If you qualify, the goal is to see how well this treatment works when the mutation is detected this specific way.
This trial is studying whether a new combination of two cancer drugs, ZEN003694 and talazoparib, can help people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. Talazoparib is a type of drug that targets cancer cells with certain DNA repair problems. The study is divided into groups based on specific gene mutations or previous treatment responses.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—olaparib (a PARP inhibitor) and ASTX727 (a DNA hypomethylating agent)—for people whose cancers have a specific DNA repair flaw. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining ZEN003694 with talazoparib can slow or shrink recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It is designed for people who have already been treated with a PARP inhibitor before, and it may help if that cancer comes back.
