Talazoparib

Talazoparib is a study drug that inhibits (stops) the normal activity of certain proteins called "poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases" also called "PARPs". PARPs are proteins (made from genes which are part of DNA) that are found in all normal and cancer cells that are involved in the repair of DNA. PARPs are needed to repair mistakes that can happen in DNA when cells divide. If the mistakes are not repaired, the defective cell will usually die and be replaced. Cells with mistakes in their DNA that do not die can become cancer cells.
