Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The participants has histologically or cytologically confirmed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)Stage IIIB with effusion. Mixed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) tumors will be categorized by the predominant cell type. Primary or metastatic site may be used for histology
2. For squamous cell histology or for centrally located mediastinal masses (< 3 cm from the carina) identified by computed tomography scan (CT) or chest x-ray, the participant must undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest or I.V. contrast CT scan within 3 weeks of randomization, to exclude major airway or blood vessel invasion (in the investigator's opinion) by cancer
3. The participant has measurable disease (Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "nontarget" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy
4. The participant's Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status is 0-1
5. The participant's age at the time of study entry is ≥ 18 years
6. The participant has adequate hematologic function as defined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/μL, hemoglobin ≥ 9.5 g/dL, and a platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL obtained within 2 weeks prior to randomization

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	PFS is defined as the time from the day of randomization to the first evidence of progression by RECIST version 1.1, or death from any cause. Participants who died without a reported prior progression were considered to have progressed on the day of their death. Participants who did not progress and were subsequently lost to follow-up had their data censored at the day of their last tumor assessment. If there was no radiologic assessment at baseline or post baseline, participants were censored at the date of randomization. If death or progressive disease (PD) occurred after 2 or more consecutive missing radiographic visits, censoring occurred at the date of the last radiographic visit prior to the missed visits.	Baseline to Measured PD or Death From Any Cause (Up to 31 Months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE)	A summary of other nonserious AEs, and all SAE's, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.	Baseline to Study Completion (Up to 43 Months)
Safety and Tolerability of Olaratumab Administered at a More Rapid Rate (25mg/Min With Minimum Infusion Time of 30 Minutes), Determined by Number of Participants With Treatment Related Adverse Events		Up to 43 Months
Overall Survival (OS)	Overall survival is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. If the participant is alive at the end of the follow-up period or is lost to follow-up, OS was censored on the last date the participants is known to be alive.	Baseline to Death From Any Cause (Up to 31 Months)
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Best Overall Tumor Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR)	The ORR is equal to the percentage of participants achieving a best overall response of partial response or complete response (PR + CR), according to RECIST version 1.1 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10 millimeter (mm) and normalization of tumor marker level of non-target lesions; PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; PD was defined as having at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and minimum 5 mm increase above nadir; Stable Disease (SD) was defined as small changes that did not meet above criteria. Participants who had no post baseline tumor assessments were considered non-responders and included in the denominator when calculating response rate. Percentage of participants=(number of participants with CR+PR/total number of participants)*100.	Baseline to Measured PD or Study Discontinuation (Up to 31 Months)
Median Duration of Response	The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for Complete Response (CR)/Partial Response (PR) (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that the criteria for PD are met (taking as a reference for PD the smallest measurement recorded since the treatment started), initiation of other/additional antitumor therapy is first reported, or death, is objectively documented.	First Criteria Met for CR or PR to Measured PD Start of Other Antitumor Therapy or Death From Any Cause (Up to 31 Months)
Pharmacodynamics of Olaratumab	Pharmacodynamics of Olaratumab was determined by analysis of pharmacodynamic markers vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF).	Cycle 1: Days 1, 8, and 15 pre- and post-infusion of Olaratumab; Cycles 2-6: day 1 only, pre- and post-infusion of Olaratumab
Percentage of Participants With Anti-Olaratumab Antibodies	Participants with Treatment Emergent (TE) anti-olaratumab antibodies were participants with a 4-fold increase (2 dilutions) increase over a positive baseline antibody titer or for a negative baseline titer, a participant with an increase from the baseline to a level of 1:20.	Baseline to Study Completion (Up to 8 Months)
Pharmacokinetics (PK) - Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0-168 of Olaratumab	AUC(0-168) = area under the concentration versus time curve from time zero to 168 hours post dose.	Cycle 3, Day 1: Predose, 30 minutes (min), 1.5 hours (hrs), 24,48,96,168 Hrs Post Dose
PK - Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Olaratumab		Cycle 3, Day 1: Predose, 30 min, 1.5 hrs, 24,48,96,168 Hrs Post Dose
PK - Half-Life (t1/2) of Olaratumab		Cycle 3, Day 1: Predose, 30 min, 1.5 hrs, 24,48,96,168 Hrs Post Dose
PK - Clearance (Cl) of Olaratumab		Cycle 3, Day 1: Predose, 30 min, 1.5 hr, 24,48,96,168 Hrs Post Dose
PK - Steady State Volume of Distribution (Vss) of Olaratumab		Cycle 3, Day 1: Predose, 30 min, 1.5 hrs, 24,48,96,168 Hrs Post Dose
