Background:

People with advanced cancer are usually treated with surgery, radiation, immunotherapy drugs, or chemotherapy drugs. Talazoparib is a type of drug called a PARP inhibitor. It prevents DNA repair and has shown anticancer activity in early clinical trials. Researchers want to learn more about how it works in different types of patients.

Objective:

To find out how talazoparib works in tumor cells and if it works differently in people who have or have not already been treated with another PARP inhibitor.

Eligibility:

Adults ages 18 and older with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, who have a gene variation that changes how their tumors are able to repair DNA

Design:

Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. Their medical records will be reviewed. Their ability to do daily activities will be assessed. They will give blood samples. Screening tests will be repeated during the study.

Participants tumors will be measured. They will have tumor biopsies.

Participants samples will be used for gene testing.

Participants will be put into 1 of 2 groups: those who have never had a PARP inhibitor and those who have had a PARP inhibitor.

Participants will take talazoparib by mouth daily. It is given in cycles that are 4 weeks (28 days) long. They will get the study drug for as long as their cancer does not get worse, they can tolerate the side effects, and they choose to stay on the study.

After treatment ends, participants condition will be followed. They will be watched for side effects. They will be contacted once about 30 days after treatment ends.

Eligibility

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

ELIGIBLE GERMLINE OR SOMATIC MUTATION

Patients with the following germline or somatic genetic aberrations will be eligible based on compelling preclinical and/or clinical data suggesting that these deleterious mutations confer sensitivity to PARP inhibitors; no more than 6 patients (across both cohorts) with an eligibility mutation in any one gene will be enrolled. The list of eligible mutations is restricted to genes from the NCI-MPACT protocol aMOIs panel for temozolomide plus veliparib (NCT01827384), published results from TRITON2: A Phase 2 Study of Rucaparib in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Associated with Homologous Recombination Repair Gene Alterations [75], and the following ongoing clinical trials:

- Rucaparib in Patients with Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Harboring Germline DNA Repair Gene Mutations (TRIUMPH) (NCT03413995)

- Olaparib in Treating Patients with Metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer With Aberrant DNA Repair Gene Mutations (NCT04042831)

- Olaparib in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients With DNA Repair Gene Muations (ORCHID) (NCT03786796)

- Deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations

- Loss of function mutations (including novel loss of function frameshift or nonsense mutations) in the following Fanconi anemia genes: FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCJ, FANCL, FANCM, FANCN

-A known functional mutation (including novel loss of function frameshift or nonsense mutations) in any of the following DDR genes: ARID1A, ATM, ATR, BACH1 (BRIP1), BAP1, BARD1, CDK12, CHK1, CHK2, IDH1, IDH2, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, RAD50, RAD51, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, RAD54L.

Age greater than or equal to18 years of age.

ECOG performance status less than or equal to 2.

Life expectancy of greater than 3 months.

Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:

-absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1,500/mcL

-platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcL

-hemoglobin greater than or equal to 10g/dL

-total bilirubin <= 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (<=3 x upper limit of normal in the presence of documented Gilbert s syndrome or liver metastases at baseline)

-AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) less than or equal to 3 X institutional upper limit of normal

-creatinine <=1.5X institutional upper limit of normal OR

-creatinine clearance CrC1 greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73m^2 unless data exists supporting safe use at lower kidney function values, no lower than 30 mL/min/1.73m^2.

Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as greater than or equal to 20 mm (greater than or equal to 2 cm) by chest x-ray or as greater than or equal to 10 mm (greater than or equal to 1 cm) with CT scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam. See Section 11 (Measurement of Effect) for the evaluation of measurable disease.

Patients must have a tumor site amenable to biopsy, and this needs to be a lesion separate to those considered for RECIST measurable lesions.

The effects of talazoparib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because PARP inhibitors are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of study participation and for at least 7 months after completing study treatment. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Male patients with female partners of reproductive potential and pregnant partners who are treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception for the duration of study participation and for at least 4 months after completion of talazoparib administration

Patients must be able to swallow whole tablets or capsules. Nasogastric or G-tube administration is not allowed. Any gastrointestinal disease which would impair ability to swallow, retain, or absorb drug is not allowed.

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Patients must have recurrent, locally advanced or metastatic disease

Patients must have progressed on or after at least one line of standard-of- care (SOC) intervention, except for those patients without SOC or for whom talazoparib is SOC
