The comment the reviewer left was:

This is a promotional press release, not an encyclopedia article.

Please rewrite with use of the generic term, not the trade name. (You can mention the trade name once, but once only, and eve there , omit the R symbol.

don't use empty promotional phrases like "addresses the unmet need for" or "which make life easier for patients with brain tumors and their caregivers". Rather, Say what it is, and what it does.

Indicate the actual individual inventors, not just the company to which the patent was assigned, and make sure there is a clear reference to its first report in the medical literature, and to the doucment ofr the DFDA approval. Say who developed it, giving the apropriate references.

Avoidmaking multiple reference to the company's web site.

It might help reduce the promotional tone if you used the full name, not the trade name, and if you didn;t discuss how it worked in terms of "advantages". Like other therapies it will have has advantages in certain situation, not necessarily in general
