GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK.LN) said Monday that it is looking to expand the indication for its Nucala medicine--an add-on treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma--to include children aged six to 11 in the U.S.

The pharmaceutical company said that it has filed a supplemental biologics license application with the Food and Drug administration to expand the indication to include the lower age group.

In Europe, Nucala is available for children aged six to 17 years old, as well as adults, GlaxoSmithKline said.
