Intervention/exposure

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Pidnarulex
Treatment: Drugs - Talazoparib

Experimental: Treatment with both talazoparib and pidnarulex - At the time of registration, patients will be assigned to the specific dose-schedule of talazoparib and pidnarulex depending on where the study is at in terms of dose-escalation or dose-expansion


Treatment: Drugs: Pidnarulex
Pidnarulex is a treatment that is designed to stop the action of a particular protein in the body called Polymerase I, that cancer cells rely on. Laboratory studies show that pidnarulex targets a process involving Polymerase I within cells, which can lead to a decrease in cancer growth. Pidnarulex has been shown to have some anticancer activity in ovarian cancer and haematological cancers.

Treatment: Drugs: Talazoparib
Talazoparib belongs to a class of drugs called PARP inhibitors, which is currently being used to treat various types of cancer. Talazoparib blocks the function of PARP, a protein that is involved in repairing DNA in cells. By stopping damaged DNA in cells from being repaired, this will lead to accumulation of DNA damage in the cancer cell and ultimately cancer cell death. Talazoparib has established anticancer activity in breast, ovarian and prostate cancers with underlying DNA repair defects. This class of drug have also been used in combination with other treatments such as radiation or chemotherapy to further increase cell death within the cancer.
