What happens
Increased talazoparib exposure and an increased risk of talazoparib-related adverse reactions
Interaction Deep Dive
Coadministration of talazoparib (a BCRP substrate) with BCRP inhibitors may increase talazoparib exposure which may increase the risk of talazoparib-related adverse reactions. Monitor patients for increased risk of adverse reactions and modify the dosage as recommended for adverse reactions when talazoparib is coadministered with BCRP inhibitors1.
Why it happens (mechanism)
Inhibition of BCRP-mediated efflux transport of talazoparib
