Agent Information
The I-SPY Program is committed to open science, through timely publication and release of results, and ultimately data, from all arms of our trials.
Talazoparib is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) that selectively binds to PARP and prevents PARP-mediated DNA repair of single strand DNA breaks via the base-excision repair pathway. This enhances the accumulation of DNA strand breaks, promotes genomic instability and eventually leads to apoptosis. PARP catalyzes post-translational ADP-ribosylation of nuclear proteins that signal and recruit other proteins to repair damaged DNA and is activated by single-strand DNA breaks.
