· Enzalutamide (Xtandi) has gained FDA approval for nonmetastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (nmCSPC) in high-risk patients with biochemical recurrence, expanding its use in prostate cancer treatment.

· Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) has received supplemental approval for the first-line treatment of HER2-negative stomach cancer when combined with chemotherapy, showing improved overall survival compared to chemotherapy alone.

· The Symplicity Spyral™ renal denervation (RDN) system has been approved by the FDA for treating hypertension through a minimally invasive procedure targeting overactive nerves near the kidneys.

· A combination of taurolidine and heparin catheter lock solution (DefenCath) has been approved for preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections in hemodialysis patients, demonstrating a significant reduction in infection risk in clinical trials.
