Abstract
Olaratumab is a newly approved human monoclonal IgG1 antibody against platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGFR-α). In a relatively small, randomised phase 2 trial the drug given in combination with doxorubicin produced an overall survival improvement in patients with unresectable and/or metastatic soft tissue sarcomas. Further studies are necessary to establish the role of this agent in the treatment of advanced sarcomas. In this paper the current clinical data on olaratumab are presented.
