Business Wire
Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ: ZIXI), the leader in
email encryption services, was selected by ICON Central
Laboratories to provide lab reports through an encrypted email
solution for select sites participating in clinical trials. ICON
Central Laboratories, a division of ICON plc, is a global central
laboratory exclusively engaged in clinical trial testing. With
laboratories located in New York, Dublin, Singapore, India and
China, ICON Central Laboratories has tested and reported lab
results for clinical trial subjects in more than 40,000 sites
worldwide.
ICON Central Laboratories tracks patient results using ICOLIMS,
a state-of-the-art laboratory information management system. Once
recorded, ICOLIMS automatically sends patient results through
ZixEnableSM, an application-generated email
encryption service. With ZixEnable, patient results are delivered
securely 24/7 worldwide, enabling physicians to better monitor and
adjust patient treatment during clinical trials.
“The use of ICOLIMS in conjunction with ZixEnable provides more
efficient results to physicians, increases patient safety and
enhances the research environment for our sponsors,” said John
Reinert, Vice President of Information Technology and Global Data
Services for ICON Central Laboratories. “With encrypted email
through ZixCorp, we can confidently send results to our global
clinical sites around the clock through our automated processes. We
also benefit from knowing the right clinical teams are accessing
the appropriate data and that physicians can access the electronic
information as much as needed.”
The pharmaceutical research industry has traditionally used fax
machines to deliver patient results to clinical sites. The most
significant challenges in faxing patient results are the inability
to reach all clinical sites and the inability of physicians to
manage the information electronically.
Physicians who use ZixGateway®, a policy-based email
encryption appliance, receive patient results transparently in
their inbox, requiring no extra steps or passwords to access the
encrypted email. Physicians without ZixGateway receive encrypted
email through ZixPort®, a secure Web portal.
Regardless of delivery method, ICON Central Laboratories receives
reports on who has received and opened the encrypted email.
“Application-generated encrypted email through ZixEnable is yet
another example of the power of secure email and the innovation
ZixCorp brings to the market,” said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp’s
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Automatic secure email is a
strategic platform that many companies in the pharmaceutical,
healthcare and financial industries can leverage to reach targeted
audiences in real-time and meet regulatory requirements for secure
data transmission. We appreciate ICON Central Laboratories’ trust
in using our solution to send sensitive patient data.”
