Talazoparib and Palbociclib, Axitinib, or Crizotinib for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors, TalaCom Trial

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2025-09-03
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase Ib trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of talazoparib when given in combination with palbociclib, axitinib, or crizotinib in treating patients with solid tumors that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). PARPs are proteins that help repair damaged DNA, the genetic material that serves as the body's instruction book. PARP inhibitors, such as talazoparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Palbociclib, axitinib, and crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving talazoparib in combination with palbociclib, axitinib, or crizotinib may help control locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
