Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceutical Cos. unit on Tuesday said the European Commission approved the company's Byannli six-month maintenance treatment for schizophrenia in adults.

The drugmaker said the approval, which covers patients who are clinically stable on monthly or three-month doses, makes Byannli the first twice-yearly treatment of schizophrenia in adults in Europe.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September approved a six-month version of the antipsychotic, marketed in the U.S. as Invega.
