Transform Your Asthma Clinical Trials with MAPLE-UK

The MAPLE-UK Study (Mapping Asthma Progression through Longitudinal Evaluation) is a comprehensive 5-year longitudinal research initiative providing unprecedented insights into asthma progression, phenotypes, and exacerbation triggers. Designed and sponsored by hVIVO, this registry delivers trial-ready cohorts and rich longitudinal data to accelerate your drug development programs.

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
  • Exacerbation Trigger Identification
  • Disease Progression Tracking
  • Small Airway Disease Research

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.

The study collects comprehensive biomarker data including blood samples for haematology and biochemistry, respiratory pathogen samples, optional induced sputum, PBMCs, and markers of T2 inflammation including FeNO.
Yes, the protocol is designed to accommodate tailored sub-studies and additional assessments. We welcome discussions about integrating your research questions.
Data ownership and sharing agreements are established on a project-by-project basis. Contact us to discuss arrangements that meet your needs.
