Overview

On 29 October 2018, the European Commission withdrew the marketing authorisation for Eperzan (albiglutide) in the European Union (EU). The withdrawal was at the request of the marketing authorisation holder, GlaxoSmithKline Trading Services Limited, which notified the European Commission of its decision to permanently discontinue the marketing of the product for commercial reasons. 

Eperzan was granted marketing authorisation in the EU on 21 March 2014 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

The European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for Eperzan is updated accordingly to reflect the fact that the marketing authorisation is no longer valid.
