• Introduction: Olaratumab (IMC-3G3) is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody with antitumor activity that selectively binds the external domain of human platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-α with high affinity and blocks ligand binding. It is composed of two heavy chain molecule fragments and 2 light chain fragments. Studies show that the treatment of olaratumab in combination with doxorubicin resulted in significant reduction of cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. Olaratumab was granted accelerated approval (as Lartruvo) as initial therapy to treat adults with certain types of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in October, 2016.

Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmacodynamics: It exerts an anti-tumor activity in vivo and in vitro against selected sarcoma cells by inhibiting tumor growth by binding to PDGFR-alpha that is present on several types of cancer on transformed cells and in tumor stroma. Olaratumab antibody binding leads to inhibition of ligand-dependent signaling in PDGFR(alpha)-expressing tumor cells, as well as stromal cells in the tumor microenviroment that are dependent on PDGFR(alpha) signaling. When used in a combination therapy with doxorubicin, olaratumab improves progression-free survival in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma.
• Targets: Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha
