Summary:

      This phase II trial studies the side effects of talazoparib when given before standard
      therapy in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to nearby healthy tissue and
      has a mutation in a breast cancer, early onset (BRCA) gene. Talazoparib may stop the growth
      of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth, and may be especially
      effective in patients with BRCA mutations. It is not yet known whether adding talazoparib
      before standard treatment is safe in treating patients with BRCA mutated breast cancer.

          -  Signed written informed consent

          -  Histologically confirmed primary invasive adenocarcinoma of the breast with the size
             of the primary tumor being at least 1 cm on imaging by either mammography, ultrasound

             either a) older than 50 and amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months following
             cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, or b) have documentation of
             irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or
