Olaratumab, sold under the brand name Lartruvo, is a monoclonal antibody medication developed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of solid tumors. It is directed against the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha.[2]

It was removed from the United States and European Union markets in 2019, due to insufficient proof of its medical advantage (see below "Medical uses").
