Must also agree for female partner of childbearing potential to use an additional highly effective form of contraception (Section 5.3 of the protocol) from the time of the first dose of study treatment through 4 months after last dose of study treatment (or, if talazoparib/placebo has been stopped more than a month earlier than enzalutamide, through 3 months after last dose of enzalutamide)when having sex. 15.Must agree not to donate sperm from the first dose of study treatment to 4 months after the last dose of study treatment (or, if talazoparib/placebo has been stopped more than a month earlier than enzalutamide, through 3 months after last dose of enzalutamide). 16.Participants who are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures, including being able to manage electronic diaries. The PRO assessments are not required to be completed if a participant does not understand the language(s) available for a specific questionnaire and/or cannot complete the specific questionnaire independently.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: Medical Conditions: 1.Other acute or chronic medical [concurrent disease, infection, including chronic stable HIV, HBV, or HCV infection (refer to Appendix 13 of the protocol), or co-morbidity] or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behaviour or laboratory abnormality that interferes with a participant’s ability to participate in the study, may increase the risk of associated with study participation or study treatment administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and, in the investigator’s judgment, make the participant inappropriate for entry into the study. HIV/HBV/HCV testing is not required unless mandated by local health authority. 2.History of seizure or any condition (as assessed by investigator) that may predispose to seizure (eg, prior cortical stroke, significant brain trauma), including any history of loss of consciousness or transient ischemic attack within 12 months of randomization. 3.Major surgery (as defined by the investigator) within 4 weeks before randomization. 4.Known or suspected brain metastasis or active leptomeningeal disease. 5.Symptomatic or impending spinal cord compression or cauda equina syndrome. 6.Any history of MDS, AML, or prior malignancy except for the following: •Carcinoma in situ or non-melanoma skin cancer. •A cancer diagnosed and treated ≥3 years before randomization with no subsequent evidence of recurrence. •American Joint Committee on Cancer Stage 0 or Stage 1 cancer <3 years before randomization that has a remote probability of recurrence in the opinion of the investigator and the sponsor. 7.In the opinion of the investigator, any clinically significant gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption. 8.Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including any of the following: •Myocardial infarction or symptomatic cardiac ischemia within 6 months before randomization. •Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association class III or IV. •History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (eg, sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsade de pointes) within 1 year before screening. •History of Mobitz II second degree or third-degree heart block unless a permanent pacemaker is in place. •Hypotension as indicated by systolic blood pressure <86 mm Hg at screening. •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.
