Can international patients with LHON access Raxone (idebenone) in China?

Access may be possible through the Boao Lecheng Pilot Zone's special-access pathway for qualifying imported medicines. Patients need specialist assessment to determine whether the treatment is clinically appropriate and available for their individual case.

How quickly should a patient with LHON seek treatment?

LHON can cause rapid and progressive vision loss, so early ophthalmology assessment is important. Treatment eligibility depends on factors including the genetic diagnosis, disease duration, and existing visual impairment.

What medical records are needed to apply for LHON treatment in China?

A case review typically requires genetic testing confirming LHON, ophthalmology records, visual acuity and visual-field assessments where available, imaging or other diagnostic results, and a clear history of when symptoms began and how the condition has progressed.
