GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) plc has announced a regulatory submission to the FDA for albiglutide, an investigational once-weekly treatment for adult patients with Type 2 Diabetes. Albiglutide is not yet approved as a treatment for Type 2 Diabetes or any other indication anywhere in the world.

Albiglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, is an investigational biological product for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes designed for once-weekly subcutaneous dosing.

GSK intends to submit a regulatory application in the European Union (EU) in early 2013.
