TALZENNA 1mg capsules medication leaflet

L01XK04 talazoparib • Antineoplastic and immunomodulating agents | Other antineoplastic agents | Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors

Talazoparib is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor used in the treatment of metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer associated with BRCA mutations. It works by inhibiting DNA repair in tumor cells, leading to their death.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, as directed by a doctor. It is important for patients to follow the prescribed dosage and undergo regular medical check-ups to monitor the response to treatment.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as fatigue, nausea, or a decrease in blood cell counts. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, anemia, and a decrease in platelet counts. In rare cases, severe reactions such as myelosuppression or tumor lysis syndrome may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before starting treatment.

4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS

4.1 Therapeutic indications

Breast cancer

Talzenna is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with germline

BRCA1/2-mutations, who have HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Patientsshould have been previously treated with an anthracycline and/or a taxane in the (neo)adjuvant, locallyadvanced or metastatic setting unless patients were not suitable for these treatments (see section 5.1).

Patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer should have been treated with a priorendocrine-based therapy, or be considered unsuitable for endocrine-based therapy.

Prostate cancer

Talzenna is indicated in combination with enzalutamide for the treatment of adult patients withmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in whom chemotherapy is not clinicallyindicated.

4.2 Posology and method of administration

Treatment with Talzenna should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the use ofanticancer medicinal products.

Patient selection

Breast cancer

Patients should be selected for the treatment of breast cancer with Talzenna based on the presence ofdeleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA mutations determined by an experiencedlaboratory using a validated test method.

Genetic counselling for patients with BRCA mutations should be performed according to localregulations, as applicable.

Prostate cancer

There is no requirement for tumour mutation testing for selection of patients with mCRPC fortreatment with Talzenna.

Posology

Talzenna monotherapy (breast cancer)

The recommended dose is 1 mg talazoparib once daily. Patients should be treated until diseaseprogression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Talzenna in combination with enzalutamide (prostate cancer)

The recommended dose is 0.5 mg talazoparib in combination with 160 mg enzalutamide once daily.

Patients should be treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Medical castration with luteinising hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue should becontinued during treatment in patients not surgically castrated.

Please refer to the full enzalutamide product information for the recommended posology.

Missing dose

If the patient vomits or misses a dose of Talzenna, an additional dose should not be taken. The nextprescribed dose should be taken at the usual time.

Dose adjustments

To manage adverse drug reactions, interruption of treatment or dose reduction based on severity andclinical presentation should be considered (see Table 1). Recommended dose reduction levels fortalazoparib monotherapy (breast cancer) and for talazoparib when used in combination withenzalutamide (prostate cancer) are indicated in Table 2 and Table 3, respectively.

Complete blood count should be obtained prior to starting talazoparib therapy and monitored monthlyand as clinically indicated (see Table 1 and section 4.4).

The intended use of the 0.1 mg capsule is to support dose modifications and it is not interchangeablewith other strengths.

Concomitant treatment with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp)

Talzenna monotherapy (breast cancer)

Strong inhibitors of P-gp may lead to increased talazoparib exposure. Concomitant use of strong P-gpinhibitors during treatment with talazoparib should be avoided. Co-administration should only beconsidered after careful evaluation of the potential benefits and risks. If co-administration with astrong P-gp inhibitor is unavoidable, the Talzenna dose should be reduced to the next lower dose.

When the strong P-gp inhibitor is discontinued, the Talzenna dose should be increased (after3-5 half-lives of the P-gp inhibitor) to the dose used prior to the initiation of the strong P-gp inhibitor(see section 4.5).

Talzenna when used in combination with enzalutamide (prostate cancer)

The effect of co-administration of P-gp inhibitors on talazoparib exposure when talazoparib is given incombination with enzalutamide has not been studied. Therefore, concomitant use of P-gp inhibitorsduring treatment with talazoparib should be avoided (see section 4.5).

Special populations
Hepatic impairment

No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ 1 × upperlimit of normal [ULN] and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > ULN, or total bilirubin > 1.0 to1.5 × ULN and any AST), moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3.0 × ULN and any

AST), or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3.0 × ULN and any AST) (see section 5.2).

Talzenna in combination with enzalutamide is not recommended for use in patients with severe hepaticimpairment (Child-Pugh classification C), as pharmacokinetics and safety have not been established inthese patients (see section 5.2).

Renal impairment

Breast cancer

No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild renal impairment (60 mL/min ≤ creatinineclearance [CrCL] < 90 mL/min). For patients with moderate renal impairment(30 mL/min ≤ CrCL < 60 mL/min), the recommended starting dose of Talzenna is 0.75 mg once daily.

For patients with severe renal impairment (15 mL/min ≤ CrCL < 30 mL/min), the recommendedstarting dose of Talzenna is 0.5 mg once daily. Talzenna has not been studied in patients with

CrCL < 15 mL/min or patients requiring haemodialysis (see section 5.2).

Prostate cancer

No dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild renal impairment (60 mL/min ≤ creatinineclearance [CrCL] < 90 mL/min). For patients with moderate renal impairment(30 mL/min ≤ CrCL < 60 mL/min), the recommended dose of Talzenna is 0.35 mg once daily incombination with enzalutamide orally once daily. For patients with severe renal impairment(15 mL/min ≤ CrCL < 30 mL/min), the recommended dose of Talzenna is 0.25 mg once daily incombination with enzalutamide once daily. Talzenna has not been studied in patients with

CrCL < 15 mL/min or patients requiring haemodialysis (see section 5.2).

Elderly

No dose adjustment is necessary in elderly (≥ 65 years of age) patients (see section 5.2).

Paediatric population

The safety and efficacy of Talzenna in children and adolescents < 18 years of age have not beenestablished. No data are available.

Method of administration

Talzenna is for oral use. To avoid contact with the capsule content, the capsules should be swallowedwhole, and must not be opened or dissolved. They can be taken with or without food (see section 5.2).

4.3 Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.

Breast-feeding (see section 4.6).

4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Myelosuppression

Myelosuppression consisting of anaemia, leukopenia/neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia, havebeen reported in patients treated with talazoparib (see section 4.8). Talazoparib should not be starteduntil patients have recovered from haematological toxicity caused by previous therapy (≤ Grade 1).

Precautions should be taken to routinely monitor haematology parameters and signs and symptomsassociated with anaemia, leukopenia/neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia in patients receivingtalazoparib. If such events occur, dose modifications (reduction or interruption) are recommended (seesection 4.2). Supportive care with or without blood and/or platelet transfusions and/or administrationof colony stimulating factors may be used as appropriate.

Myelodysplastic syndrome/Acute myeloid leukaemia

Myelodysplastic syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (MDS/AML) have been reported in patientswho received poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, includingtalazoparib. Overall, MDS/AML has been reported in < 1% of solid tumour patients treated withtalazoparib in clinical studies (see section 4.8). Potential contributing factors for the development of

MDS/AML include previous platinum-containing chemotherapy, other DNA damaging agents orradiotherapy. Complete blood counts should be obtained at baseline and monitored monthly for signsof haematologic toxicity during treatment. If MDS/AML is confirmed, talazoparib should bediscontinued.

Venous thromboembolic events

In patients with mCRPC a higher incidence of venous thromboembolic events was observed with

Talzenna in combination with enzalutamide compared with enzalutamide alone. Patients should bemonitored for clinical signs and symptoms of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism andtreated as medically appropriate (see section 4.8).

Contraception in women of childbearing potential

Talazoparib was clastogenic in an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in human peripheral bloodlymphocytes and in an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus assay in rats but not mutagenic in Amesassay (see section 5.3), and may cause foetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Pregnantwomen should be advised of the potential risk to the foetus (see section 4.6). Women of childbearingpotential should not become pregnant while receiving Talzenna and should not be pregnant at thebeginning of treatment. A pregnancy test should be performed on all women of childbearing potentialprior to treatment.

A highly effective method of contraception is required for female patients during treatment with

Talzenna, and for at least 7 months after completing therapy. Since the use of hormonal contraceptionis not recommended in patients with breast cancer, two non-hormonal and complementarycontraception methods should be used (see section 4.6).

Male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or pregnant partners should be advised touse effective contraception (even after vasectomy), during treatment with Talzenna and for at least4 months after the final dose.

4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction

Talazoparib is a substrate for drug transporters P-gp and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) andit is mainly eliminated by renal clearance as unchanged compound.

Agents that may affect talazoparib plasma concentrations

P-gp inhibitors

Effect of enzalutamide

Co-administration with 160 mg enzalutamide increases talazoparib exposure approximately 2-fold.

Administration of talazoparib 0.5 mg daily in combination with enzalutamide achieves approximatelythe same steady-state trough (Ctrough) concentration reported for talazoparib 1 mg daily (seesection 5.2). When Talzenna is co-administered with enzalutamide, the Talzenna starting dose is0.5 mg (see section 4.2). The interaction effect of doses other than 160 mg enzalutamide ontalazoparib has not been quantified.

The effect of co-administration of other P-gp inhibitors on talazoparib exposure when talazoparib isgiven in combination with enzalutamide has not been studied. If co-administration of P-gp inhibitorscannot be avoided, when Talzenna is given with enzalutamide, the patient should be monitored forpotential increased adverse reactions.

Effect of other P-gp inhibitors

Data from a drug-drug interaction study in patients with advanced solid tumours indicated thatco-administration of multiple daily doses of a P-gp inhibitor, itraconazole 100 mg twice daily with asingle 0.5 mg talazoparib dose increased talazoparib total exposure (AUCinf) and peak concentration(Cmax) by approximately 56% and 40%, respectively, relative to a single 0.5 mg talazoparib doseadministered alone. Population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis has also shown that concomitant use ofstrong P-gp inhibitors increased talazoparib exposure by 45%, relative to talazoparib given alone.

Concomitant use of strong P-gp inhibitors (including but not limited to amiodarone, carvedilol,clarithromycin, cobicistat, darunavir, dronedarone, erythromycin, indinavir, itraconazole,ketoconazole, lapatinib, lopinavir, propafenone, quinidine, ranolazine, ritonavir, saquinavir, telaprevir,tipranavir, and verapamil) should be avoided. If co-administration with a strong P-gp inhibitor isunavoidable, the Talzenna dose should be reduced (see section 4.2).

P-gp inducers

Data from a drug-drug interaction study in patients with advanced solid tumours indicated thatco-administration of single 1 mg talazoparib dose with multiple daily doses of a P-gp inducer, rifampin600 mg, with rifampin co-administered 30 minutes before talazoparib on the day of talazoparib dosing,increased talazoparib Cmax by approximately 37% whereas AUCinf was not affected relative to a single1 mg talazoparib dose administered alone. This is probably the net effect of both P-gp induction andinhibition by rifampin under the tested conditions in the drug-drug interaction study. No talazoparibdose adjustments are required when co-administered with rifampin. However, the effect of other P-gpinducers on talazoparib exposure has not been studied. Other P-gp inducers (including but not limited tocarbamazepine, phenytoin, and St. John’s wort) may decrease talazoparib exposure.

BCRP inhibitors

The effect of BCRP inhibitors on PK of talazoparib has not been studied in vivo. Co-administration oftalazoparib with BCRP inhibitors may increase talazoparib exposure. Concomitant use of strong

BCRP inhibitors (including but not limited to curcumin and cyclosporine) should be avoided. Ifco-administration of strong BCRP inhibitors cannot be avoided, patient should be monitored forpotential increased adverse reactions.

Effect of acid-reducing agents

Population PK analysis indicates that co-administration of acid-reducing agents including protonpump inhibitors and histamine receptor 2 antagonists (H2RA), or other acid-reducing agents had nosignificant impact on the absorption of talazoparib.

Systemic hormonal contraception

Drug-drug interaction studies between talazoparib and oral contraceptives have not been conducted.

4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation

Women of childbearing potential/Contraception in males and females

Women of childbearing potential should not become pregnant while receiving Talzenna and shouldnot be pregnant at the beginning of treatment. A pregnancy test should be performed on all women ofchildbearing potential prior to treatment (see section 4.4).

Women of childbearing potential must use highly effective forms of contraception (see section 4.4)prior to starting treatment with talazoparib, during treatment, and for 7 months after stoppingtreatment with talazoparib. Since the use of hormonal contraception is not recommended in patientswith breast cancer, two non-hormonal and complementary contraception methods should be used.

Male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or pregnant partners should be advised touse effective contraception (even after vasectomy) during treatment with Talzenna, and for at least4 months after the final dose (see section 4.4).

Pregnancy

There are no data from the use of Talzenna in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shownembryo-foetal toxicity (see section 5.3). Talzenna may cause foetal harm when administered to apregnant woman. Talzenna is not recommended during pregnancy or for women of childbearingpotential not using contraception (see section 4.4).

Breast-feeding

It is unknown whether talazoparib is excreted in human breast milk. A risk to breast-fed childrencannot be excluded and therefore breast-feeding is contraindicated (see section 4.3) during treatmentwith Talzenna and for at least 1 month after the final dose.

Fertility

There is no information on fertility in patients. Based on non-clinical findings in testes (partiallyreversible) and ovary (reversible), Talzenna may impair fertility in males of reproductive potential (seesection 5.3).

4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Talzenna has a minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines. Fatigue/asthenia or dizzinessmay occur following administration of talazoparib.

When Talzenna is given in combination with enzalutamide, please also refer to the full enzalutamideproduct information for the effects of enzalutamide on ability to drive and use machines.

4.8 Undesirable effects

Description of selected adverse reactions
Myelosuppression

Myelosuppression-related adverse reactions of anaemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were verycommonly reported in patients treated with talazoparib. Grade 3 and Grade 4myelosuppression-related events were reported for anaemia in 37.8% and 1.5% of patients,neutropenia in 15.0% and 1.6%, and thrombocytopenia in 8.1% and 3.0%. No deaths were reporteddue to myelosuppression-related adverse reactions.

In monotherapy studies (1 mg/day population), the most frequent myelosuppression-related adverseevents associated with dose modifications were anaemia (33.5%), neutropenia (11.7%) andthrombocytopenia (9.9%) reported for up to approximately 30% of patients in the talazoparib1 mg/day population and the one associated with permanent study drug discontinuation was anaemiareported in 0.6% of patients.

In patients with mCRPC treated with talazoparib in combination with enzalutamide, anaemia led totalazoparib dose interruption in 44.0% of patients, decreased neutrophil count in 13.6%, and decreasedplatelet count in 7.8%. Overall, 42.5% of patients required blood transfusions. The most commonblood transfusion was of packed red blood cells 39.2%. Discontinuation due to anaemia, neutropeniaand thrombocytopenia occurred, respectively, in 8.3%, 3.3% and 0.5% of patients.

Reporting of suspected adverse reactions

Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. Itallows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcareprofessionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting systemlisted in Appendix V.

4.9 Overdose

There is limited experience of overdose with talazoparib. No adverse reactions were reported in onepatient who accidentally self-administered thirty 1 mg capsules of talazoparib on Day 1 and wasimmediately treated with gastric decontamination. Symptoms of overdose are not established. In theevent of overdose, treatment with talazoparib should be stopped, and physicians should considergastric decontamination, follow general supportive measures and treat symptomatically.

5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: antineoplastic agents, other antineoplastic agents, ATC code: L01XK04

Mechanism of action

Talazoparib is an inhibitor of PARP enzymes, PARP1 (IC50=0.7 nM), and PARP2 (IC50=0.3 nM).

PARP enzymes are involved in cellular DNA damage response signalling pathways such as DNArepair, gene transcription, and cell death. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) exert cytotoxic effects on cancercells by 2 mechanisms, inhibition of PARP catalytic activity and by PARP trapping, whereby PARPprotein bound to a PARPi does not readily dissociate from a DNA lesion, thus preventing DNA repair,replication, and transcription, thereby resulting in apoptosis and/or cell death. Treatment of cancer celllines that are harbouring defects in DNA repair genes with talazoparib single agent leads to increasedlevels of γH2AX, a marker of double stranded DNA breaks, and results in decreased cell proliferationand increased apoptosis. Talazoparib anti-tumour activity was also observed in a patient-derivedxenograft (PDX) BRCA mutant breast cancer model where the patient was previously treated with aplatinum-based regimen, as well as in an androgen receptor (AR)-positive prostate cancer xenograftmodel. In these PDX models talazoparib decreased tumour growth and increased γH2AX level andapoptosis in the tumours.

The anti-tumour effects of combined inhibition of PARP and AR activity is based on the followingmechanisms: AR signalling inhibition suppresses the expression of homologous recombination repair(HRR) genes including BRCA1, resulting in sensitivity to PARP inhibition. PARP1 activity has beenshown to be required for maximal AR function and thus inhibiting PARP may reduce AR signallingand increase sensitivity to AR signalling inhibitors. Clinical resistance to AR blockade is sometimesassociated with co-deletion of RB1 and BRCA2, which is in turn associated with sensitivity to PARPinhibition.

Cardiac electrophysiology

The effect of talazoparib on cardiac repolarisation was evaluated using time-matchedelectrocardiograms (ECGs) in assessing the relationship between the change of the QT intervalcorrected for heart rate (QTc) from baseline and the corresponding plasma talazoparib concentrationsin 37 patients with advanced solid tumours. Talazoparib did not have a clinically relevant effect on

QTc prolongation at the maximum clinically recommended monotherapy dose of 1 mg once daily.

Clinical efficacy and safety

Germline BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm) HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer

EMBRACA study

EMBRACA was an open-label, randomised, parallel, 2-arm multicentre study of Talzenna versuschemotherapy (capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, vinorelbine) in patients with germline

BRCA-mutated HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who received no morethan 3 prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens for their metastatic or locally advanced disease. Patientswere required to have received treatment with an anthracycline and/or a taxane (unlesscontraindicated) in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant and/or metastatic setting. Patients with prior platinumtherapy for advanced disease were required to have no evidence of disease progression duringplatinum therapy. No prior treatment with a PARPi was permitted.

Of the 431 patients randomised in the EMBRACA study, 408 (95%) were centrally confirmed to havea deleterious or suspected deleterious gBRCAm using a clinical study assay; out of which 354 (82%)were confirmed using the BRACAnalysis CDx. BRCA mutation status (breast cancer susceptibilitygene 1 [BRCA1] positive or breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 [BRCA2] positive) was similar acrossboth treatment arms.

A total of 431 patients were randomised 2:1 to receive Talzenna 1 mg capsules once daily orchemotherapy at standard doses until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Of the 431 patientsrandomised onto EMBRACA, 287 were randomised to the Talzenna arm and 144 to the chemotherapyarm. Randomisation was stratified by prior use of chemotherapy for metastatic disease (0 versus 1, 2,or 3), by triple-negative disease status (triple-negative breast cancer [TNBC] versus non-TNBC), andhistory of central nervous system metastasis (yes versus no).

Patient demographic, baseline, and disease characteristics were generally similar between the studytreatment arms (see Table 5).

The primary efficacy endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) evaluated according to Response

Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, as assessed by blinded independent centralreview (BICR). The secondary objectives were objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS),safety, and PK.

The study demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in PFS, the primary efficacy outcome,for Talzenna compared with chemotherapy. There was no statistically significant effect on OS at thetime of final OS analysis. Efficacy data for EMBRACA are summarised in Table 6. The Kaplan-Meiercurves for PFS and OS are displayed in Figure 1 and Figure 3, respectively.

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)

TALAPRO-2 study

TALAPRO-2 was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which patients (N=805)with mCRPC were randomised 1:1 to receive Talzenna 0.5 mg once daily in combination withenzalutamide 160 mg once daily, versus a comparator arm of placebo in combination withenzalutamide 160 mg once daily. All patients received a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)analog or had prior bilateral orchiectomy and needed to have progressed on prior androgen deprivationtherapy. Prior treatment with abiraterone or taxane-based chemotherapy for metastaticcastration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) was permitted.

Randomisation was stratified by (1) previous treatment with abiraterone or taxane-basedchemotherapy versus no such prior treatment; and by (2) HRR gene mutation status which wasprospectively tested by next generation sequencing of tumour tissue using FoundationOne CDx orcirculating tumour DNA (ctDNA) using FoundationOne Liquid CDx; patients with tumour HRR genemutations (ATM, ATR, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDK12, CHEK2, FANCA, MLH1, MRE11A, NBN,

PALB2, or RAD51C) versus patients without tumour HRR gene mutations or with unknown status.

The median age was 71 years (range 36 to 91) in both arms; 62% were White, 31% were Asian, and2% were Black. Most participants (66%) in both arms had an ECOG performance status of 0. Inpatients treated with Talzenna, the proportion of patients with RECIST 1.1 measurable disease atbaseline per BICR was 30%. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of patients had received prior abiraterone ortaxane-based chemotherapy. Twenty percent (20%) had tumours with HRR gene mutations and 80%had tumours that did not have HRR gene mutations or had an unknown status.

The primary efficacy outcome was radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) evaluated accordingto RECIST version 1.1 and Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group Criteria 3 (PCWG3)(bone) criteria, as assessed by BICR. OS was an alpha-controlled secondary endpoint.

A statistically significant improvement in BICR-assessed rPFS was demonstrated for Talzenna incombination with enzalutamide compared to placebo in combination with enzalutamide. A sensitivityanalysis of investigator-assessed rPFS was consistent with the BICR-assessed rPFS results.

Efficacy results of TALAPRO-2 are provided in Table 7 and Figure 4.

Paediatric population

The European Medicines Agency has waived the obligation to submit the results of studies withtalazoparib in all subsets of the paediatric population in breast cancer and prostate cancer (see section4.2 for information on paediatric use).

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties

Talazoparib exposure generally increased proportionally with dose across the range of 0.025 mg to2 mg after daily administration of multiple doses. Following repeated daily dosing of 1 mg talazoparibmonotherapy to breast cancer patients, the geometric mean (% coefficient of variation [CV%]) areaunder the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum observed plasma concentration(Cmax) of talazoparib at steady-state was in the range of 126 (107) ng*hr/mL to 208 (37) ng*hr/mL and11 (90) ng/mL to 19 (27) ng/mL, respectively. After oral administration of 0.5 mg talazoparib oncedaily in combination with enzalutamide in patients with mCRPC, the geometric mean (CV%)steady-state Ctrough across visits ranged from 3.29 to 3.68 ng/mL (45 to 48%), which is similar to theobserved values of 3.53 (61%) ng/mL when talazoparib monotherapy was administered at 1 mg oncedaily in breast cancer patients. Following repeated daily dosing, talazoparib plasma concentrationsreached steady-state within 2 to 3 weeks when administered alone, and approximately within 9 weekswhen co-administered with enzalutamide. The median accumulation ratio of talazoparib followingrepeated oral administration of 1 mg monotherapy once daily was in the range of 2.3 to 5.2.

Talazoparib is a substrate of P-gp and BCRP transporters.

Absorption

Following oral administration of talazoparib, the median time to Cmax (Tmax) was generally between1 to 2 hours after dosing. The absolute bioavailability study has not been conducted in humans.

However, based on urinary excretion data the absolute bioavailability is at least 41% with fractionabsorbed of at least 69% (see Elimination). No significant effect of acid-reducing agents ontalazoparib exposure is expected, given sufficient solubility of talazoparib at all pHs between 1 and6.8. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of the patients in the pivotal study were taking acid-reducing agents,mainly proton pump inhibitors.

The effect of food

Food intake decreased the rate but not the extent of talazoparib absorption. Following a single oraldose of talazoparib with high-fat, high-calorie food (approximately 827 calories, 57% fat), the mean

Cmax of talazoparib was decreased by approximately 46%, the median Tmax was delayed from 1 to4 hours, while the AUCinf was not affected. Based on these results, Talzenna can be administered withor without food (see section 4.2).

Distribution

The population mean apparent volume of distribution (Vss/F) of talazoparib was 420 L. In vitro,talazoparib is approximately 74% bound to plasma proteins with no concentration dependence overthe concentration range of 0.01 µM to 1 µM. Renal or hepatic impairment does not appear to impacttalazoparib protein binding as there was no obvious trend in the mean talazoparib fraction of unbounddrug (fu) in human plasma in vivo with worsening renal function or hepatic function.

Biotransformation

Talazoparib undergoes minimal hepatic metabolism in humans. Following oral administration of asingle 1 mg dose of [14C]talazoparib to humans, no major circulating metabolites were identified inplasma, and talazoparib was the only circulating drug-derived entity identified. No metabolites thatindividually represented more than 10% of the administered dose were recovered in the urine or faeces.

In vitro, talazoparib was not an inhibitor of cytochrome (CYP)1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9,

CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4/5 or inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4 at clinically relevantconcentrations.

In vitro, talazoparib did not inhibit any of the major intestinal, hepatic or renal membrane transporters(P-gp, BCRP, organic anion transporting polypeptide [OATP]1B1, OATP1B3, organic cationictransporter [OCT]1, OCT2, organic anion transporter [OAT]1, OAT3, bile salt export pump [BSEP],multidrug and toxin extrusion [MATE]1 and MATE2-K) at clinically relevant concentrations.

In vitro, talazoparib did not inhibit any of the major uridine-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase(UGT) isoforms (1A1, 1A4, 1A6, 1A9, 2B7, and 2B15) at clinically relevant concentrations.

Elimination

Renal elimination of unchanged drug (passive filtration and active secretion) is the major route oftalazoparib elimination. P-gp is likely involved in talazoparib active renal secretion. The mean(±standard deviation) terminal plasma half-life of talazoparib was 90 (±58) hours and the populationmean (inter-subject variability) apparent oral clearance (CL/F) was 6.5 (31%) L/h in cancer patients.

In 6 female patients given a single oral dose of [14C]talazoparib, a mean of 69% (±8.6%) and 20%(±5.5%) of the total administered radioactive dose was recovered in urine and faeces, respectively.

Excretion of unchanged talazoparib in urine was the major route of elimination accounting for 55% ofthe administered dose, while unchanged talazoparib recovered in the faeces accounted for 14%.

Special populations

Age, sex, and body weight

A population PK analysis was conducted using data from 490 patients with cancer who receivedtalazoparib 1 mg daily as monotherapy to evaluate the impact of age (ranging from 18 to 88 years),sex (53 males and 437 females), and body weight (ranging from 35.7 kg to 162 kg) on the PK oftalazoparib. The results have shown that age, sex, and body weight had no clinically relevant effect onthe PK of talazoparib.

Race

Based on a population PK analysis that included 490 patients who received talazoparib 1 mg daily asmonotherapy, where 41 patients were Asian and 449 patients were Non-Asian (361 White, 16 Black,9 Others, and 63 Not reported), talazoparib CL/F was higher in Asian patients compared to Non-Asianpatients, leading to 19% lower exposure (AUC) in Asian patients.

Paediatric population

Pharmacokinetics of talazoparib have not been evaluated in patients < 18 years of age.

Renal impairment

Talazoparib monotherapy

Data from a PK study in advanced cancer patients with varying degrees of renal impairment indicatedthat talazoparib total exposure (AUC0-24) after multiple talazoparib once daily doses increased by 92%and 169% in patients with moderate (eGFR 30 - < 60 mL/min) and severe (eGFR < 30 mL/min) renalimpairment, respectively, relative to patients with normal renal function (eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min).

Talazoparib Cmax increased by 90% and 107% in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment,respectively, relative to patients with normal renal function. Talazoparib exposure was similar forpatients with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 - < 90 mL/min) and those with normal renal function.

In addition, based on a population PK analysis that included 490 patients, where 132 patients had mildrenal impairment (60 mL/min ≤ CrCL < 90 mL/min), 33 patients had moderate renal impairment(30 mL/min ≤ CrCL < 60 mL/min), and 1 patient had severe renal impairment(CrCL < 30 mL/min),talazoparib CL/F was decreased by 14% and 37% in patients with mild andmoderate renal impairment, corresponding to 17% and 59% increase in AUC, respectively, whencompared to patients with normal renal function (CrCL ≥ 90 mL/min). The PK of talazoparib have notbeen studied in patients requiring haemodialysis (see section 4.2).

Talazoparib co-administered with enzalutamide

Based on a population PK analysis that included 412 mCRPC patients who received talazoparibco-administered with enzalutamide, where 152 patients had mild renal impairment (60 mL/min≤ CrCL < 90 mL/min), 72 patients had moderate renal impairment (30 mL/min ≤ CrCL < 60 mL/min),and 2 patients had severe renal impairment (CrCL < 30 mL/min), talazoparib CL/F was decreased by8% and 27%, corresponding to increases of 9% and 37% in AUC, in patients with mild and moderaterenal impairment respectively, compared to patients with normal renal function. The PK of talazoparibhas not been studied in patients requiring haemodialysis (see section 4.2).

Hepatic impairment

Talazoparib monotherapy

Based on a population PK analysis that included 490 patients who received talazoparib 1 mg daily asmonotherapy, where 118 patients had mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ 1.0 × ULN and AST> ULN, or total bilirubin > 1.0 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST), mild hepatic impairment had no effect onthe PK of talazoparib. The PK of talazoparib in patients with normal hepatic function, mild hepaticimpairment, moderate hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 to 3.0 × ULN and any AST) or severehepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 3.0 × ULN and any AST) was studied in a PK study. Population

PK analysis using data from this PK study indicated that mild, moderate or severe hepatic impairment hadno significant impact on the PK of talazoparib (see section 4.2).

Talazoparib co-administered with enzalutamide

The PK of talazoparib in combination with enzalutamide has not been studied in patients with hepaticimpairment (see section 4.2).

5.3 Preclinical safety data

Carcinogenicity

Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with talazoparib.

Genotoxicity

Talazoparib was not mutagenic in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test. Talazoparib was clastogenicin an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and in an in vivomicronucleus assay in rats at exposures similar to clinically relevant doses. This clastogenicity isconsistent with genomic instability resulting from the primary pharmacology of talazoparib, indicatingthe potential for genotoxicity in humans.

Repeat-dose toxicity

In repeat-dose toxicity studies in rats and in dogs, the main findings at subtherapeutic exposuresincluded bone marrow hypocellularity with dose-dependent decrease in haematopoietic cells, depletionof lymphoid tissue in multiple organs and atrophy and/or degenerative changes in testes, epididymisand seminiferous tubules. Additional findings at higher exposures included dose-dependent increase inapoptosis/necrosis in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver and ovary. Most of the histopathologicfindings were generally reversible while the testes findings were partially reversible after 4 weeks ofdosing cessation.
