E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study:
1. At least 18 years of age. For Japan, at least 20 years of age.
2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell or signet cell features. If the patient does not have a prior histological diagnosis, a baseline de novo biopsy must be used to confirm the diagnosis and to support biomarker analysis.
3. Asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) (score on BPI-SF Question #3 must be <4).
4. For enrollment into Part 2 only (optional in Part 1): assessment of DDR mutation status by prospective analysis of blood (liquid biopsy), or tissue (de novo or archival tissue), or historical analysis (with Sponsor pre-approval), of most recent tumor tissue per FoundationOne testing.
(Note: for patients enrolling in Part 1, DDR deficiency testing is optional).
5. For enrollment into Part 2 only (optional for Part 1): Unless prohibited by local regulations or ethics committee decision, consent to a saliva sample collection for retrospective sequencing of the same DDR genes tested on tumor tissue and blood (liquid biopsy), or a subset thereof, and to serve as a germline control in identifying tumor mutations.
6. Surgically or medically castrated, with serum testosterone ≤50 ng/dL (≤1.73 nmol/L) at screening. Ongoing androgen deprivation therapy with a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist or antagonist for patients who have not undergone bilateral orchiectomy must be initiated at least 4 weeks before Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2) and must continue throughout the study.
7. Metastatic disease in bone documented on bone scan or in soft tissue documented on CT/MRI scan. Scans obtained as part of standard of care in the 6 weeks (42 days) prior to Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2) can be used if they meet study requirements (Table 2). Measurable soft tissue disease is not required. (Adenopathy below the aortic bifurcation alone does not qualify).
8. Progressive disease at study entry in the setting of medical or surgical castration as defined by 1 or more of the following 3 criteria:
- Prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression defined by rising PSA of at least 2 consecutive rises in most recent PSA to be documented over a reference value (measure 1) taken at least 7 days apart within the last 12 months. If the third PSA measure is not greater than the second
measure, a fourth PSA measure is required to be taken and be greater than the second measure. The third (or the fourth) confirmatory PSA
should be taken within 4 weeks prior to randomization. The third (or the fourth) PSA value, obtained before randomization must be ≥ 1 μg/L if qualifying only by PSA progression.
- Soft tissue disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1.
- Bone disease progression defined by Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) with 2 or more new metastatic bone lesions on a whole body radionuclide bone scan.
9. Ongoing bisphosphonate or denosumab use prior to Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2) is allowed but not mandatory.
10. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1.
11. Life expectancy 12 months as assessed by the investigator.
12. Able to swallow the study treatment and have no known intolerance to study treatments or excipients.
13. Sexually active participants that in the opinion of the investigator are capable of ejaculating, must agree to use a condom when having sex with a partner (female or male) from the time of the first dose of study treatment through 4 months after last dose of study treatment. Must also agree for female partner of childbearing potential to use an additional highly effective form of contraception (Section 4.4.1) from the time of the first dose of study treatment through 4 months after last dose of study treatment when having sex with a non-pregnant female partner of childbearing potential. 14. Must agree not to donate sperm from the first dose of study treatment to 4 months after the last dose of study treatment.
15. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document (and molecular prescreening consent if appropriate) indicating that the patient [or a legally acceptable representative] has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
16. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients with any of the following characteristics/conditions will be excluded:
1. Any prior systemic cancer treatment initiated in the non-metastatic CRPC and mCRPC disease state. (ADT and first generation antiandrogens received in the CRPC disease state are NOT exclusionary.)
2. Patients whose only evidence of metastasis is adenopathy below the aortic bifurcation.
3. Prior treatment with second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors (enzalutamide, apalutamide, and darolutamide), a PARP inhibitor, cyclophosphamide, or mitoxantrone for prostate cancer.
4. Prior treatment with platinum based chemotherapy within 6 months (from the last dose) prior to Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2), or any history of disease progression on platinum based therapy within 6 months (from the last dose).
•Prior docetaxel for mCSPC is allowed if more than 4 weeks have elapsed from the last dose of docetaxel.
5. Treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy which includes but is not limited to docetaxel, biologic therapy including sipuleucel-T, or radionuclide therapy received in the castration-sensitive prostate cancer is NOT exclusionary if discontinued in the 28 days prior to Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2). Prior treatment with abiraterone in the castration-sensitive settings is not exclusionary if discontinued prior to randomization. Hormonal therapy (eg, bicalutamide, nilutamide, flutamide, estrogens) are not exclusionary if discontinued prior to randomization. *Prednisone >10 mg/day (or equivalents) is exclusionary.
6. Treatment with any investigational agent within before Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2).
7. Prior treatment with opioids for pain related to either primary prostate cancer or metastasis within 28 days prior to Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2).
8. Current use of potent P-gp inhibitors within 7 days prior to Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2.) For a list of potent P-gp inhibitors, and other medications which are exclusionary because of interaction with either talazoparib or enzalutamide, refer to Section 5.9.
9. Major surgery (as defined by the investigator) within 2 weeks before Day 1 (Part 1) or randomization (Part 2), or palliative localized radiation therapy within 3 weeks before randomization (Part 2)
10. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including any of the following:

- Bradycardia as indicated by a heart rate of <45 beats per minute on the screening electrocardiogram.
- Uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by systolic blood pressure >170 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure >105 mm Hg at screening. However, patients can be rescreened after adequate control of blood pressure is achieved.
Please refer to protocol for the full list of exclusion criteria. |
