The Food and Drug Administration approved Sunharbo, a new blood thinner from Bayer, on November 9, 2026. The drug inhibits the blood-clotting protein Factor XIa to lower the risk of stroke in certain adults. A study involving over 12,000 adults found that Sunharbo reduced the risk of ischemic stroke by 26% compared to the control group, while major bleeding cases were similar between the groups.
