On Tuesday, Alkermes Plc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the company's resubmission of its new drug application for its treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar 1 disorder.

The pharma company said that it wants to make the treatment available to patients as soon as possible.
