Is Raxone (idebenone) available for LHON treatment in mainland China?

Raxone is not broadly approved in mainland China, but it is accessible through Hainan's Boao Lecheng Pilot Zone under a special early-access regulatory pathway, at a hospital specifically approved to administer it.

Can international patients access Raxone treatment at Hainan's Boao Lecheng zone?

Yes — international patients, including those from Japan and Myanmar, have already accessed this treatment through the pathway. ChinaCureLink can help coordinate a case review to evaluate eligibility.

How effective is Raxone for treating vision loss from LHON?

Raxone is the only drug specifically approved to treat visual impairment in adolescent and adult LHON patients, with efficacy supported by international clinical studies. Individual results vary depending on disease stage and other clinical factors, so a specialist evaluation is recommended.
