Abstract
Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer diagnosis among men worldwide, with poor prognosis in its advanced stage. Treatment strategies have evolved, including the use of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis).
Areas covered: This review evaluates the clinical efficacy, safety, and future potential of combining talazoparib, a potent PARPi, with enzalutamide, a strong androgen receptor (AR) antagonist. The combination of these two drugs was evaluated by the TALAPRO-2 trial, demonstrating significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients, particularly those with Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) gene mutations such as BRCA1/2.
Expert opinion: Emerging biomarkers like TMPRSS2-ERG and RB1 gene mutations have been recently reported as potential predictors of clinical outcome in the TALAPRO-2 all-comers population. Genomic markers for homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) are other potential drivers of response to PARPi/ARPI combination. Further investigation is needed to refine treatment strategies, including targeting non-HRR mutations, and to expand the role of this combination therapy in earlier stages of prostate cancer.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy (ISSN 1473-7140) provides expert appraisal and commentary on the major trends in cancer care and highlights the performance of new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.
Coverage includes tumor management, novel medicines, anticancer agents and chemotherapy, biological therapy, cancer vaccines, therapeutic indications, biomarkers and diagnostics, and treatment guidelines. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review, and the journal makes an essential contribution to decision-making in cancer care.
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Review format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion - a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
