                None

                Cautions

                Based on its mechanism of action and findings from animal data, fetal harm may occur when administered to a pregnant woman (see Pregnancy)

                Myelosuppression

                • Myelosuppression (eg, anemia, leukopenia/neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia) reported; monitor blood counts monthly during treatment
                • If hematological toxicities do not resolve within 28 days, discontinue therapy and refer patient to a hematologist for further investigations including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics

                Myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia

                • Myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) reported; MDS/AML reported (0.3%) in solid tumor in clinical studies; duration of treatment in these patients prior to developing MDS/AML was 4 months and 24 months, respectively
                • Do not start until patients have adequately recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy; Monitor blood counts monthly during treatment
                • For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt and monitor blood cell counts weekly until recovery; if levels do not recover within 4 weeks, refer patient to a hematologist for further investigations
                • If MDS/AML is confirmed, discontinue treatment

                Drug interactions overview

                • P-gp and BCRP transporters substrate
                • Effect of P-gp inhibitors
                  • Coadministration with P-gp inhibitors may increase talazoparib exposure
                  • In clinical studies, coadministration with P-gp inhibitors (ie, amiodarone, carvedilol, clarithromycin, itraconazole, verapamil) resulted in an ~45% increase in talazoparib exposure and an increase in the rate of talazoparib dose reduction
                  • When coadministering with P-gp inhibitors not listed above, monitor for potential increased adverse reactions
                • Effect of BCRP inhibitors
                  • Coadministration with BCRP inhibitors may increase talazoparib exposure
                  • If coadministration cannot be avoided, monitor potential increased adverse reactions when coadministering

                Pregnancy

                Pregnancy

                Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, embryofetal harm may occur when administered to pregnant females

                No data available on use in pregnant females to inform a drug-associated risk

                Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment

                Animal data

                • Administration to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused fetal malformations and structural skeletal variations and embryofetal death at maternal exposures that were 0.24 times the AUC in patients receiving the recommended dose of 1 mg qDay

                Contraception

                • Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment and for ≥7 months following the last dose
                • Males with female partners of reproductive potential and pregnant partners: Use effective contraception during treatment and for ≥4 months following the last dose

                Infertility

                • Based on animal studies, impaired fertility in males of reproductive potential may occur

                Lactation

                There are no data on the presence of talazoparib in human milk, its effects on milk production, or on breastfed children

                Advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment and for ≥1 month after the final dose

                Pregnancy Categories

                A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

                B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

                C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

                D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

                X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

                NA: Information not available.
