Curebase and Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp. have announced an ongoing research collaboration to broaden patient participation in Adaptive’s clinical studies. The initial two studies of the partnership involve Adaptive’s T-Detect diagnostic test. T-Detect is under development for multiple diseases translating the natural diagnostics capability of T-Cells into clinical practice.
The first study will validate the effectiveness of T-Detect for patients with Lyme disease. Lyme disease tends to impact people in rural areas, where a lack of clinical research sites makes it more challenging to recruit participants for clinical studies. In a second study, the two companies will collect and analyze long-term data from COVID-19 patients who have used Adaptive’s T-Detect COVID clinically available test.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
