Lartruvo is a monoclonal antibody that blocks a certain type of cell receptor in the body that can affect tumor cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies are made to target and destroy only certain cells in the body, which may help slow or stop tumor growth.

Lartruvo is used in combination with another cancer medicine called doxorubicin, to treat adults with soft tissue sarcoma. This medicine is used when your condition cannot be treated with surgery or radiation.

Lartruvo was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on an "accelerated" basis. In clinical studies, Lartruvo was shown to lengthen survival time. However, further studies are needed to determine if this medicine is effective in larger numbers of patients with soft tissue sarcoma.

Lartruvo may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
