Detailed Description

      This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, researching the effectiveness of the
      combination of telaglenastat and talazoparib in participants with metastatic
      castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

      The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved telaglenastat or the combination
      of telaglenastat and talazoparib as a treatment for any disease.

      The FDA has not approved talazoparib for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
      (mCRPC) but it has been approved for other uses.

      Telaglenastat is a drug designed to stop cancer growth by blocking glutaminase activity.
      Glutaminase is an enzyme in the body that is overproduced by some cancers and can fuel cancer
      growth. Telaglenastat can lower or block glutaminase and may slow the growth or spread of
      some cancers.

      Talazoparib is a drug that interferes with the repair activity of proteins called poly
      adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerases (PARP), which are found in normal and cancer cells
      and are involved in the repair of DNA - the genetic material found in every cell. This
      interference may lead to increased amounts of DNA defects and cancer cell death which may
      help to slow the growth of cancer cells.

      The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including
      evaluations and follow up visits.

      There are different points in this study in which participation will start. The first group
      of participants will receive the combination of telaglenastat and talazoparib for the
      entirety of the study. If telaglenastat plus talazoparib is beneficial to the first group
      this will lead to the enrollment of the next group, since telaglenastat as a single drug has
      not been evaluated in prostate cancer. The next group will receive telaglenastat alone with
      the addition of talazoparib if the disease gets worse.

      It is expected that about 30 people will take part in this research study.

             sufficient tissue for molecular analysis, or consent for a fresh biopsy for molecular
             analysis

          -  Participants must have tested negative for homologous recombination (HR) mutations
             (including known deleterious mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM) on a blood-based or
             tissue-based assay

          -  History of bilateral orchiectomies or ongoing GnRH agonist or antagonist

          -  Castration-resistant disease based on progression per Prostate Cancer Working Group
             2.21

          -  Prior treatment for metastatic prostate cancer with docetaxel and either abiraterone
             acetate or enzalutamide, OR ineligible for or declines treatment with docetaxel,
             abiraterone acetate, or enzalutamide.

          -  Adequate renal function with a serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL or an estimated or
             calculated creatinine clearance of > 50 mL/min (calculated using the formula of
             Cockcroft and Gault)

             and ALT and AST less than 3x the ULN.

          -  Adequate hematological function with ANC ≥ 1500/mm3, hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL, and
             platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3
