GLP-1 Treatment Options in Texas

Albiglutide (Alb) is a novel analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has been developed and approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Currently, lyophilized albiglutide and the diluent are provided in a dual chamber Cartridge (DCC) single-dose pen injector, requiring reconstitution prior to use. A liquid formulation of albiglutide will enable the use of a liquid product in a ready-to-use single dose auto-injector. To support the development of the liquid auto-injector product, this healthy volunteer bioequivalence study will be conducted to compare the liquid drug product to the currently available lyophilized product. This is Phase I, randomized, double-blind, double dummy, single-dose, 2-period crossover study in healthy volunteers. This study will compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of the albiglutide 50 mg liquid drug product with the albiglutide 50 mg commercial lyophilized drug product. Read Less

This study is a placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who are either taking no diabetes medication or who are taking metformin only. This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Albiglutide (GSK716155) and will measure the levels of Albiglutide (GSK716155) in the bloodstream when it is given for 16 weeks. As a comparison, some subjects will receive exenatide instead of Albiglutide (GSK716155). The study will involve weekly visits for 17 weeks,and less frequent follow-up visits for an additional 10 weeks. Assessments include repeat blood sampling and monitoring of any side effects.
