Welcome to EMD Serono's US STARTone Portal
DRIVING INNOVATION IN SCIENCE, MEDICAL EDUCATION, AND PATIENT CARE
At EMD Serono, we are passionate about enhancing patient care through science, education, and innovation. Our STARTone Portal is your go-to platform for submitting three different kinds of funding and access-to-medication requests.
1. Requests to Support Investigator-Sponsored Studies (“ISS”)
As a patient-centric organization, we empower independent research by supporting Investigator-Sponsored Studies (ISSs) that expand the boundaries of current clinical and medical knowledge. Our goal is to stimulate advancements in patient care in our areas of therapeutic interest, complementing our own company-sponsored studies.
- Ready to contribute to innovative research? Register as an ISS applicant and learn more about our areas of interest. For assistance, contact your EMD Serono Medical Science Liaison or Medical Director.
We are committed to supporting medical education grants (“MEGs”) for Accredited Continuing Education for Health Professionals to advance medical education, address recognized gaps in healthcare knowledge, and improve patient care.
3. Access Requests for Certain Medications (“Managed Access Requests” or “MA”)
Two types of requests for access to medication, referred to as “Managed Access Requests”, are handled through the STARTone portal:
-
(a) Requests for Approved Medication for Unapproved Uses
We are committed to helping patients access our medications for medically-appropriate treatments and offer access to free medications for unapproved uses in certain limited situations. Such requests are managed in an ethical, compliant and controlled means through the Managed Access section of the STARTone Portal.
(b) Requests for Post-Study Access to Medication (approved medications)
After the conclusion of a clinical study, participants are often given the opportunity for continued access to the study medication, known as “Post-Study Access”. Requests for Post-Study Access for approved study medications are also managed through the Managed Access section of the STARTone portal.
- Looking to make either type of request for access to a medication? Register as a MA applicant. For assistance contact ManagedAccessSupport@emdserono.com
