Transform Your Asthma Clinical Trials with MAPLE-UK
Why Partner with MAPLE-UK?
Accelerated Clinical Trial Recruitment
Access a pre-characterized, engaged cohort of asthma patients ready for rapid onboarding. Reduce recruitment timelines and screening failures with comprehensive baseline phenotyping across the full GINA 1-5 spectrum.
Comprehensive Patient Characterisation
Deep phenotyping and endotyping data including:
-
Lung function assessments (spirometry, FOT)
-
T2 inflammation biomarkers
-
Exacerbation history and triggers
-
Patient-reported outcomes (AQLQ, ACQ, AIRQ)
-
Real-world disease progression data
-
Respiratory pathogen surveillance
Real-World Evidence Generation
Track asthma evolution in natural settings with seasonal and environmental influences. Understand exacerbation triggers, disease control patterns, and treatment responses over time.
Focus on Under-represented Populations
MAPLE-UK helps address the critical gap in long-term studies by emphasizing GINA 1-3 patients, providing insights into mild to moderate asthma often overlooked in clinical research.
Key Research Objectives
- Real-World Disease Understanding
- T2 Inflammation Insights

Respiratory MAPLE
Pre-characterized asthma patients for clinical trials through MAPLE UK a 5-year longitudinal study providing comprehensive phenotyping & real-world evidence
The study includes balanced recruitment across the full GINA 1-5 spectrum, with particular emphasis on GINA 1-3 patients who are underrepresented in long-term asthma research.
The pre-characterized cohort enables rapid screening and enrollment, significantly reducing typical recruitment timelines. Contact us to discuss your specific timeline requirements.
