Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess how the body handles olaratumab when it is given with another drug called doxorubicin. The safety and tolerability of these drugs will be studied. Each participant will complete two 21-day cycles in a fixed order. Participants who complete Cycle 2 may continue to receive olaratumab + doxorubicin for an additional six 21-day cycles and then may receive olaratumab alone until discontinuation criteria are met. Screening is required within 21 days prior to first dose. Part B was added in October, 2015 to assess how the body handles a higher dose of olaratumab when given with doxorubicin. Participants may only enroll in one part.

Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Objective Response Rate (ORR)]Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease, Study Discontinuation or Death (Up to 24 Months)The percentage of participants with a best overall response achieving CR or PR (ORR) was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.1) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 millimeter (mm) and normalization of tumor marker level of non-target lesions; Partial Response (PR) was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. The methodology for the confidence interval calculation is the exact F method.
