First-line talazoparib plus enzalutamide versus placebo plus enzalutamide for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: patient-reported outcomes from the randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 TALAPRO-2 trial

Background

Patients with advanced prostate cancer that does not respond to hormone therapy often have a poor outlook. New treatment options are needed. The TALAPRO-2 study found that combining talazoparib with enzalutamide improved survival without disease progression compared to a placebo with enzalutamide.

Study Overview

TALAPRO-2 was a large clinical trial involving 805 men across 26 countries. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either talazoparib plus enzalutamide or a placebo plus enzalutamide. The study aimed to assess not only the effectiveness of the treatment but also how patients felt about their health and quality of life.

Key Findings

Patients taking talazoparib plus enzalutamide experienced a longer time before their quality of life significantly worsened compared to those on the placebo. Specifically:

  • Time to deterioration in overall health was 30.8 months for the talazoparib group versus 25.0 months for the placebo group.
  • No significant differences were found in pain levels or general health status between the two groups.

Practical Healthcare Solutions

Measurable Outcomes

Clinics should focus on tracking:

  • Time to deterioration in quality of life.
  • Patient-reported pain levels.
  • Overall health status changes.

Setting Clear Goals

Establish goals for improving patient quality of life and managing symptoms effectively through the use of talazoparib and enzalutamide.
