WHAT LARTRUVO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Lartruvo contains the active substance olaratumab, which belongs to a
group of medicines called
monoclonal antibodies.
Olaratumab recognises and attaches specifically to a protein known as
platelet-derived growth factor
receptor-α (PDGFR-α). PDGFR-α is found in large amounts on some
cancer cells where it stimulates
the cells to grow and divide. When olaratumab attaches to PDGFR-α it
may prevent cancer cell growth
and survival.
Lartruvo is used in combination with another anti-cancer medicine
called doxorubicin for the
treatment of adults with advanced soft tissue sarcoma who have not
been previously treated with
doxorubicin. Soft tissue sarcoma is a cancer that starts in the soft
tissues, such as the muscles, fat,
cartilage and blood vessels.
