Key Trials on PARP Inhibitor Combinations in Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Efficacy and Future Considerations

Key Takeaways

  • Increased use of AR-targeted therapy may influence the effectiveness of combination treatments in clinical practice.
  • Safety concerns with PARP inhibitors, including anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia, may affect their use compared to other treatment options.

Panelists discuss how the increased use of androgen receptor–targeted therapy in clinical practice may impact the effectiveness of PARP inhibitor combinations like talazoparib in the TALAPRO-2 study, while also addressing safety concerns, potential differences in trial populations, and the need for future studies to optimize treatment approaches for various metastatic prostate cancer patient subgroups.

Video Content above is prompted by the following:

  • The TALAPRO-2 study authors noted that the use of androgen receptor (AR)–targeted therapy in clinical practice has increased considerably in recent years. How might prior use of AR-targeted therapy affect the effectiveness of this combination?
  • What are the main safety concerns with use of talazoparib and other PARP inhibitors (eg, anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia)? Would these make you more hesitant to use PARP inhibitors compared with another option?
  • How do you expect the results found in the TALAPRO-2 trial population to compare to that in the ZZ-First trial (NCT04332744) population (metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer)?
  • What future studies are needed to clarify the optimal approaches for different populations of people with metastatic prostate cancer?
