PARP inhibitors are a family of enzymes that play a role in DNA repair.
Tumors carrying mutations in BRCA1/2 and other genes implicated in homologous repair deficiency are particularly sensitive to PARP inhibition.
Talazoparib has greater stereospecific PARP-DNA trapping ability than other PARP inhibitors.
Evidence supporting the use of talazoparib in the treatment of ovarian cancer is limited in comparison with other PARP inhibitors.
Talazoparib has mostly been investigated in breast cancer.
