Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation announced an expansion of its collaboration with Labcorp to enable broader access to Adaptive's growing portfolio of immune-driven clinical diagnostic and research products. The expanded collaboration includes a commercial agreement for Adaptive's clonoSEQ® and immunoSEQ® assays and a lab services agreement for Adaptive's recently launched T-Detect COVID™ test, the first clinical T-cell based test for patients to confirm recent or prior COVID-19 infection. The collaboration builds on the parties' initial agreement signed in May 2020 to provide safe blood collection services at nearly 2,000 Labcorp patient service centers (PSCs) for patients using clonoSEQ, the first and only FDA-cleared assay for minimal residual disease (MRD) in select blood cancers.

As part of the companies' deeper collaboration, patients can now have convenient blood collection for both the clonoSEQ and T-Detect™ COVID tests at any Labcorp PSC. The two companies will work closely together to expand the commercial reach of clonoSEQ and operational capacity for T-Detect COVID. Labcorp's oncology sales force will promote clonoSEQ at hematology-oncology clinics in the U.S. In addition, Labcorp is preparing to perform T-Detect COVID as a secondary site laboratory once the test has received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
