E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Diagnosis of GIST or Kaposi sarcoma 2. Active central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal metastasis (brain metastasis) at the time of enrollment. Participants with a history of a CNS metastasis previously treated with curative intent (for example, stereotactic radiation or surgery) that have not progressed on follow-up imaging, have been asymptomatic for at least 60 days and are not receiving systemic corticosteroids and or/anticonvulsants, are eligible. Participants with signs or symptoms of neurological compromise should have appropriate radiographic imaging performed before enrollment to rule out brain metastasis 3. Prior radiotherapy of the mediastinal/pericardial area or whole pelvis radiation 4. The participant has symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF), or severe cardiac arrhythmia 5. The participant has unstable angina pectoris, angioplasty, cardiac stenting, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of enrollment 6.

Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding 8. Known allergy to any of the treatment components including a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of chemical or biological composition similar to olaratumab, dexrazoxane or doxorubicin 9. The participant has a known active fungal, bacterial, or viral infection including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or viral (A, B, or C) hepatitis (screening is not required) 10. Known history of active bleeding (defined as within 14 days of first dose of study drug) or pathological condition that carries a high risk of bleeding (for example, tumor involving major vessels or known esophageal varices) 11. History of another primary cancer, with the exception of i) curatively treated non-melanomatous skin cancer or ii) curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ or iii) other primary nonhaematologic malignancies or solid tumor treated with curative intent, no known active disease and no treatment administered during the last 3 years prior to enrollment 12. Electively planned or required major surgery during the course of the clinical trial 13. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the well-being of the participant or the study or prevent the participant from meeting or performing study requirements 14. On-treatment participation in another clinical study in the period 30 days prior to start of study treatment and during the study 15. Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity. 16. Any condition that requires concomitant vaccination with yellow fever vaccine

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progression-free survival rate after 3 months (PFSR3) |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
3 months from the first dosing date of any study medication |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Safety parameters:
· Olaratumab plus doxorubicin treatment and dosage used · Treatment duration (number of cycles) · General description of grade 3/4 adverse events · Reason for discontinuation of treatment · Discontinuation rate due to cardiac toxicity (i.e. due to LVEF reduction by more than 20% or LVEF <45%)
Efficacy parameters: • PFS: PFS is defined as the time from the first dosing date of any study medication to the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression, as determined by investigators (per RECIST v1.1), or death due to any cause. Subjects who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Subjects who did not progress or die will be censored on the date of their last tumor assessment. Subjects who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die will be censored on the first dosing date of study medication. Subjects who started any subsequent anti-cancer therapy without a prior reported progression will be censored at the last tumor assessment prior to initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy. • ORR: Objective Response Rate (ORR) defined as the number and percentage of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Best overall response (BOR) is defined as the best response designation, recorded between the date of first dose and the date of the initial objectively documented tumor progression per RECIST v1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy or death date, whichever occurs first. For participants without documented progression or subsequent therapy, all available response designations will contribute to the BOR determination. • DCR: Disease Control Rate (DCR) defined as the number and percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD), recorded between the date of first dose and the date of the initial objectively documented tumor progression per RECIST v1.1 or the date of subsequent therapy or death date, whichever occurs first. For participants without documented progression or subsequent therapy, all available response designations will contribute to the DCR determination. • OS: OS is defined as the time from date of the first dosing date of any study medication to the date of death (due to any cause). Subjects who are alive will be censored at the last known alive dates.
