Talzenna contains the active substance talazoparib. It is a type of anticancer medicine known as a 'PARP (poly-ADP ribose polymerase) inhibitor'.
Patients with changes (mutations) in genes called BRCA are at risk of developing some forms of cancer. Talzenna works by blocking PARP, which is an enzyme that repairs damaged DNA in certain cancer cells. As a result, the cancer cells can no longer repair themselves and they die.
Talzenna is used to treat adults with breast cancer of a type known as HER2-negative breast cancer who have an abnormal inherited BRCA gene.
Talzenna is used when the cancer has spread beyond the original tumour or to other parts of the body.
Your healthcare provider will perform a test to make sure that Talzenna is right for you.
If you have any questions about how Talzenna works or why this medicine has been prescribed for you, ask your doctor.
