The FDA granted priority review to Pfizer's talazoparib plus enzalutamide for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer with HRR gene alterations, with PDUFA target action in Q4 2026. The phase 3 TALAPRO-3 trial showed a 52% reduction in radiographic progression or death versus enzalutamide alone, with stronger efficacy in BRCA-mutated patients (63% risk reduction).

◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building HRR gene testing for prostate cancer, this approval creates immediate clinical urgency - every mCSPC patient now needs testing to qualify for a drug with proven 52% progression benefit. The precision medicine layer just became standard-of-care, not optional.
