Olaratumab

Identification

Summary

Olaratumab is a platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha blocking antibody used with doxorubicin to treat patients with certain types of soft tissue sarcoma (STS).

Brand Names
Lartruvo
Generic Name
Olaratumab
DrugBank Accession Number
DB06043
Background

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.

Pharmacology

Indication

Olaratumab is indicated, in combination with doxorubicin, for the treatment of adult patients with advanced or mestastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) with a histologic subtype for which an anthracycline-containing regimen is appropriate and which is not amenable to curative treatment with radiotherapy or surgery.

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 3. 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.

Mechanism of action

Olaratumab blocks ligand-induced tumor cell proliferation, and inhibits receptor autophosphorylation and ligand-induced phosphorylation of the downstream signaling molecules protein kinase B (Akt) and mitogen-activated protein kinase 5. PDGFR signalling is a type of tyrosine kinase-mediated pathway that normally regulates cell growth, chemotaxis, and mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. It also promotes internalization of PDGFR thus alters the surface levels of PDGFR.

Toxicity

Infusion-related reactions may occur during or after the administration which include bronchospasm, flushing, hypotension, anaphylactic shock, or cardiac arrest. Olaratumab may cause embryo-fetal toxicity based on animal data and its mechanism of action. Other reported adverse effects include neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, nausea and musculoskeletal pain.
