• Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) =< 1.5 x UNL but =< 2.5 x ULN in case of liver metastases or =< 5 x ULN in the case of bone metastasis. In the presence of liver metastases the liver isoenzyme fraction must be measured and liver isoenzyme fraction (absolute value) must be =< 2 x UNL
• Albumin within normal limits

• Trial participants with treated brain metastases are eligible provided the metastases are recently treated and/or clinically stable and greater than 4 weeks has elapsed from time of treatment and date of initiation of study drug
• Trial participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen should be included
• Males and females of reproductive potential must use two forms of effective contraception during the duration of the trial and for minimum of 7 months after last dose of study drug. A woman of reproductive potential is defined as a premenopausal female with intact uterus and ovaries. For women, non-childbearing potential is defined as: * =< 45 years of age amenorrheic for > 2 years without a hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or ovarian function suppression therapy plus a follicle-stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon pre-study (screening) evaluation. * => 45 years of age and amenorrheic for > 2 years without a hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or ovarian function suppression therapy. Post-hysterectomy, oophorectomy or tubal ligation. * Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

• Previous or current treatment with a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi)
• Participation in other investigational studies concurrently if these therapies include a therapeutic intervention
• Treatment with any investigational agent within 30 days (or 5 serum half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is longer) of enrollment
• Evidence of current serious uncontrolled concomitant cardiovascular nervous system, pulmonary (including obstructive pulmonary disease), renal, hepatic, endocrine (include uncontrolled diabetes mellitus) or gastrointestinal disease
• History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient’s participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator, including, but not limited to: * Myocardial infarction or arterial thromboembolic events within 6 months prior to screening or severe or unstable angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV disease, or a corrected QT (QTc) interval > 450 msec. * Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes mellitus. * Another known malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. * Active infection requiring systemic therapy. * Known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
• Any contraindication to oral agents or significant nausea and vomiting, malabsorption, or significant small bowel resection that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude adequate absorption
• Allergy to talazoparib, belinostat or to the inactive components of talazoparib or belinostat formulations
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• QTc >= 450 ms or congenital long QT syndrome given potential for prolongation with belinostat
• Current or anticipated use within 7 days prior to enrollment, or anticipated use during the study of drugs which are moderate or strong inhibitors of UGT1A1 (protease inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and ketoconazole)
• Current or anticipated use within 7 days prior to enrollment, or anticipated use during the study, of strong P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors (amiodarone, carvedilol, clarithromycin, cobicistat, darunavir, dronedarone, erythromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, lapatinib, lopinavir, propafenone, quinidine, ranolazine, ritonavir, saquinavir, telaprevir, tipranavir, valspodar, and verapamil)
