2. Histological or cytological diagnosis of a solid tumor that is advanced/metastatic, intolerable to standard therapy, resistant to effective standard therapy, or for which no standard therapy is available.
3. Availability of a fresh or recent tumor tissue sample from a diagnostic biopsy/surgery or a metastatic tumor biopsy; the sample must have been obtained within 12 months prior to study enrollment. When only bone disease is present, an archival tumor tissue sample obtained within 5 years prior to study enrollment may be accepted for non-prostate cancer patients and a fresh bone biopsy may be accepted for prostate cancer patients only.

   NOTE: A fresh biopsy should be encouraged for all participants at time of enrollment even if a previous biopsy is available. Optional on-treatment and at-progression biopsies will be encouraged for all participants. With agreement of the PI, if the archived tissue is not available and/ or it is unsafe to obtain a fresh biopsy at screening, the participant is eligible.
4. Have measurable disease at study enrollment as defined by RECIST v1.1 with at least 1 measurable lesion that has not previously been irradiated; or participants may have bone metastatic disease evaluable by Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) for participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), or according to the tumor evaluation criteria best suited and accepted for the tumor type being evaluated).
5. Age . 18 years old.
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 to 1.
7. Adequate bone marrow function (without hematopoietic growth factor or transfusion support within 14 days prior to study enrollment), including:

   * Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3 or ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
   * Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 or ≥ 100 x 109/L
   * Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (≥ 5.6 mmol/L).
8. Adequate renal function defined by an estimated creatinine clearance (CRCL) ≥ 60 mL/min OR normal creatinine as assessed by 24h urine assessment (not both) will be required during the dose-escalation phase.

   * Calculate CRCL according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula as: CRCL = \[(140-age) × weight)\]/(72 x SCR)\] × 0.85 (if female), where CRCL (creatinine clearance) is measured in mL/min, age is expressed in years, weight in kilograms (kg), and SCR (serum creatinine) in mg/dL 24h urine assessment:
   * 24h urine assessment will be performed to assess whether creatinine is within normal limits
   * In the event that 24h urine is used, then CRCL does not require to be calculated NOTE: Patients with moderate renal impairment (30 - 59 mL/min) will be considered during the dose expansion phase. A reduced starting dose for talazoparib will be considered in these patients. If the dose for dose expansion is 1 mg once daily, the dose will be reduced to 0.75 mg once daily. If the expanded dose is 0.75 mg once daily, the dose will be reduced to 0.5 mg once daily.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior anti-cancer therapy within 2 weeks prior to study enrollment or prior radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study enrollment.

Male participants are prohibited from sperm donation while enrolled in this study and for 4 months after the last dose of the study drugs.

Highly effective methods of contraception are those that alone or in combination, result in a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. These methods include:

* Established use of oral, inserted, or injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception are allowed provided the participant remains on the same treatment throughout the entire study and has been using that hormonal contraceptive for an adequate period of time to ensure effectiveness.
