6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Myelosuppression [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥20%) as a single agent, including laboratory abnormalities, are: Hemoglobin decreased, neutrophils decreased, lymphocytes decreased, platelets decreased, fatigue, glucose increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, alkaline phosphatase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, calcium decreased, nausea, headache, vomiting, alopecia, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. ( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions (≥10%) in combination with enzalutamide, including laboratory abnormalities, are: Hemoglobin decreased, neutrophils decreased, lymphocytes decreased, fatigue, platelets decreased, calcium decreased, nausea, decreased appetite, sodium decreased, phosphate decreased, fractures, magnesium decreased, dizziness, bilirubin increased, potassium decreased, and dysgeusia. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer Inc. at 1-800-438-1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The data described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS section reflect exposure to single agent TALZENNA in solid tumor clinical studies, including 286 patients enrolled in EMBRACA trial and to TALZENNA 0.5 mg daily with enzalutamide in 511 patients enrolled in the TALAPRO-2 trial that included 197 patients with HRR gene-mutated mCRPC. g BRCA m HER2-negative Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer EMBRACA The safety of TALZENNA as a single agent was evaluated in g BRCA m patients with HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had previously received no more than 3 lines of chemotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced/metastatic disease [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . EMBRACA was a randomized, open-label, multi-center study in which 412 patients received either TALZENNA 1 mg once daily (N=286) or a chemotherapy agent (capecitabine, eribulin, gemcitabine, or vinorelbine) of the healthcare provider's choice (N=126) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of study treatment was 6.1 months in patients who received TALZENNA and 3.9 months in patients who received chemotherapy. Serious adverse reactions of TALZENNA occurred in 32% of patients. Serious adverse reactions reported in >2% of patients included anemia (6%) and pyrexia (2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 1% of patients, including cerebral hemorrhage, liver disorder, veno-occlusive liver disease, and worsening neurological symptoms (1 patient each). Permanent discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 5% of TALZENNA patients. Dosing interruptions due to an adverse reaction of any grade occurred in 65% of patients receiving TALZENNA; dose reductions due to any cause occurred in 53% of TALZENNA patients. The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were hemoglobin decreased, neutrophils decreased, lymphocytes decreased, platelets decreased, fatigue, glucose increased, aspartate aminotransferase increased, alkaline phosphatase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, calcium decreased, nausea, headache, vomiting, alopecia, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Table 5 and Table 6 summarize the most common adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities, respectively, in patients treated with TALZENNA or chemotherapy in the EMBRACA study. Table 5.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
P-gp Inhibitors : Reduce the dose when coadministered with certain P-gp inhibitors. Monitor for increased adverse reactions. ( 2.7 , 7.1 ) BCRP Inhibitors : Monitor for potential increased adverse reactions. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effect of Other Drugs on TALZENNA Effect of P-gp Inhibitors Breast Cancer Avoid coadministration of TALZENNA with the following P-gp inhibitors: itraconazole, amiodarone, carvedilol, clarithromycin, itraconazole, and verapamil. If coadministration of TALZENNA with these P-gp inhibitors cannot be avoided, reduce the dose of TALZENNA [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) ] . When the P-gp inhibitor is discontinued, increase the dose of TALZENNA [see Dosage and Administration (2.7) ] . Coadministration of TALZENNA with these P-gp inhibitors increased talazoparib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Monitor for increased adverse reactions and modify the dosage as recommended for adverse reactions when TALZENNA is coadministered with other P-gp inhibitors [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . HRR Gene-mutated mCRPC The effect of coadministration of P-gp inhibitors on talazoparib exposure when TALZENNA is taken with enzalutamide has not been studied. Monitor patients for increased adverse reactions and modify the dosage as recommended for adverse reactions when TALZENNA is coadministered with a P-gp inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . Effect of Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) Inhibitors Monitor patients for increased adverse reactions and modify the dosage as recommended for adverse reactions when TALZENNA is coadministered with a BCRP inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) ] . Coadministration of TALZENNA with BCRP inhibitors may increase talazoparib exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions.Contraindications

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1) ] , TALZENNA can cause embryo-fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on TALZENNA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, the administration of talazoparib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused fetal malformations and structural skeletal variations and embryo-fetal death at maternal exposures that were 0.24 times the AUC in patients receiving the recommended dose of 1 mg daily (see Data ) . Apprise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the general U.S. population, the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies are 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development toxicity study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 0.015, 0.05, and 0.15 mg/kg/day talazoparib during the period of organogenesis. Talazoparib caused embryo-fetal death at doses ≥0.015 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.24 times the AUC in patients at the recommended dose of 1 mg daily). A dose of 0.015 mg/kg/day caused decreased fetal body weights and an increased incidence of fetal malformations (depressed eye bulge, small eye, split sternebra, and fused cervical vertebral arch) and structural variations including misshapen or incomplete ossification of the sternebra, skull, rib, and vertebra.
