TALA + ENZA vs ENZA + PBO demonstrated benefit for BRCA2m across endpoints: ORR, 86.4% vs 31.0% (OR, 0.07 [95% CI, 0.01-0.35]); rPFS, median not reached (NR) VS 10.9 mo (HR=0.25 [0.15-0.42]); OS, median NR vs 28.5 mo (HR=0.47 [0.29- 0.76]). Similar rPFS and OS benefit was seen for BRCA1m and PALB2m (allowing for small n in the groups); for ORR, evaluable n of 8 across arms for each gene was too low to meaningfully assess ORR differences. Benefit for TALA + ENZA was also evident for CDK12m: ORR, 63.6% vs 22.2% (OR, 0.16 [95% CI, 0.01-1.61]); rPFS, 19.3 vs 13.8 mo (HR=0.36 [0.19-0.70]); OS, 36.4 VS 22.8 mo (HR=0.41 [0.23-0.74]). ATMm also showed benefit for TALA + ENZA: ORR, 75.0% VS 33.3% (OR, 0.17 [95% CI, 0.02-1.32]); rPFS, 30.4 vs 18.3 mo (HR=0.66 [0.37-1.18]); OS, 45.1 VS 39.5 mo (HR=0.70 [0.38-1.29]). CHEK2m showed modest overall benefit for TALA + ENZA: ORR, 53.3% VS 42.9% (OR, 0.66 [95% CI, 0.07-5.59]); rPFS, 24.8 vs 18.3 mo (HR=0.65 [0.34-1.22]); OS, 34.2 VS 39.5 mo (HR=0.96 [0.51-1.81]). The remaining six HRR12 genes could not be meaningfully assessed for efficacy benefit by gene with TALA + ENZA vs ENZA + PBO due to low mutational prevalence. Conclusions: An efficacy benefit was evident for TALA + ENZA VS PBO + ENZA across multiple mutational subgroups assessed by gene, and was most pronounced for the BRCA1-PALB2-BRCA2 axis and CDK12, with benefit also apparent for ATM. Analyses of additional efficacy endpoints are planned and will be presented. X @neerajaiims

About the TALAPRO-2 Trial

TALAPRO-2 final OS (ASCO GU 2025) is one of the longest OS readouts ever in Phase 3 mCRPC (~45 months) with ~9-month median OS improvement across populations. FDA approval (June 2023) is restricted to HRR-mutant mCRPC, but the OS benefit in all-comers (HR 0.796) raises debate about expanding use. Benefit is strongest in BRCA-mutant disease (rPFS HR 0.20). Applicability to patients who received intensified therapy for mHSPC (not represented in TALAPRO-2) remains an open clinical question. Competes with PROpel (olaparib + abiraterone) and MAGNITUDE (niraparib + abiraterone, BRCA-restricted).

FDA Approval

FDA APPROVED Talzenna + Xtandi — Talazoparib in combination with enzalutamide for the treatment of adult patients with homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Select patients using FDA-approved companion diagnostic.

FDA approval date: 2023-06-20.

Median: 33.1 months (talazoparib + enzalutamide) vs. 19.5 months (placebo + enzalutamide). HR 0.667 (95% CI 0.551-0.807), P<0.0001 All-comers cohort (N=805): median rPFS 33.1 vs. 19.5 months, HR 0.667 (95% CI 0.551-0.807, P<0.0001). HRR-mutant cohort (N=399): median rPFS not reached vs. 13.8 months, HR 0.45 (95% CI 0.33-0.61, P<0.0001). BRCA-mutant subgroup (N=155): HR 0.20 (95% CI 0.11-0.36) — strongest benefit. Non-BRCA HRR: HR 0.72 (95% CI 0.49-1.07).

✓ rPFS HR 0.667 all-comers; HR 0.45 HRR+; HR 0.20 BRCA

Overall Survival (OS)

Median: 45.8 months (talazoparib + enzalutamide) vs. 37.0 months (placebo + enzalutamide). HR 0.796 (95% CI 0.661-0.958), P=0.0155 Final OS analysis (ASCO GU 2025; data cutoff September 3, 2024; median follow-up ~53 months). All-comers: median OS 45.8 vs. 37.0 months, HR 0.796 (95% CI 0.661-0.958, P=0.0155) — met prespecified ≤0.022 significance boundary. ~9-month median OS improvement. HRR-deficient subgroup: HR 0.542 (95% CI 0.361-0.814). Non-BRCA detected: HR 0.749 (95% CI 0.582-0.963). No detectable HRR deficiency: HR 0.782 (95% CI 0.582-1.050). One of the longest median OS durations (~45+ months) ever reported in Phase 3 mCRPC.

Safety & Tolerability

Discontinuation due to AEs: 21.6% (tala_enz) vs. 13.0% (plac_enz). Key AEs: anemia (Grade 3/4: 49% tala+enza vs. 4.5% plac+enza), neutropenia (Grade 3/4: 19.3% vs. 1.5%), thrombocytopenia (Grade ≥3: 8%), hemoglobin decrease all-grade: 79% vs. 34%, fatigue (49% vs. 40%). Marked increase in cytopenias with PARP addition. Grade 3/4 anemia in 49% of tala+enz patients (median time to onset 3.3 months); 42.2% required RBC transfusion. Talazoparib dose interruption 65.3%, dose reduction 54.5%, discontinuation 21.6% (vs. 24.7% / 7.2% / 13.0% in placebo arm). Fatal AEs 1.5% (pneumonia, COVID, sepsis). No new safety signals with extended follow-up.

⚠ Cytopenias drive dose modifications; anemia G3/4 49%

Clinical Implications

FDA-approved (June 2023) for HRR-mutant mCRPC; final OS confirms all-comers benefit. TALAPRO-2 final OS (ASCO GU 2025) is one of the longest OS readouts ever in Phase 3 mCRPC (~45 months) with ~9-month median OS improvement across populations. FDA approval (June 2023) is restricted to HRR-mutant mCRPC, but the OS benefit in all-comers (HR 0.796) raises debate about expanding use. Benefit is strongest in BRCA-mutant disease (rPFS HR 0.20). Applicability to patients who received intensified therapy for mHSPC (not represented in TALAPRO-2) remains an open clinical question. Competes with PROpel (olaparib + abiraterone) and MAGNITUDE (niraparib + abiraterone, BRCA-restricted).
