Brown Adipose Tissue as a Mechanistic Determinant of Semaglutide Treatment Response in Obesity (BAT-Sema Study) (BAT-Sema)
Brown Adipose Tissue as a Mechanistic Determinant of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Treatment Response in Adults With Obesity: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study Using ¹⁸FDG-PET/CT and Cold Stimulation Protocol

Detaillierte Beschreibung
Despite the remarkable efficacy of semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist) in treating obesity, considerable individual variation in treatment response remains unexplained. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a metabolically active thermogenic organ that has been implicated in energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity, and cardiometabolic health. We hypothesize that baseline BAT activity, as measured by ¹⁸FDG-PET/CT following individualized cold stimulation, is a mechanistic determinant of semaglutide treatment response in adults with obesity without diabetes.
This multicenter prospective cohort study will enroll 80 adults (40 per site: Hallym University Dongtan Sacred Heart Hospital and Seoul National University Bundang Hospital) with BMI ≥27 kg/m² plus obesity-related comorbidity, or BMI ≥30 kg/m², who are initiating semaglutide therapy. ¹⁸FDG-PET/CT with standardized cold stimulation (water-circulating cooling vest, starting at 16°C, individualized to prevent shivering) will be performed at baseline (V1) and 24 weeks (V7). BAT activity (SUVmax, SUVmean, BAT volume, total metabolic activity) will be quantified per BARCIST 1.0 criteria. Liver fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and liver stiffness (MR elastography) will be assessed as secondary endpoints. Correlations between baseline BAT parameters and treatment outcomes (% body weight loss, metabolic biomarker changes) will be analyzed.

Experimental: Semaglutide + BAT Evaluation
Adults with obesity initiating semaglutide (0.25 mg → 2.4 mg over 20 weeks, maintained for 4 weeks; total 24 weeks).
At baseline and 24 weeks, ¹⁸FDG-PET/CT with individualized cold stimulation (water-circulating cooling vest at 16°C, 60 minutes) and liver MRI (PDFF + MRE) are performed.

Once-weekly subcutaneous injection, titrated from 0.25 mg to 2.4 mg over 20 weeks per standard protocol.
Standard of care treatment for obesity.
Whole-body ¹⁸FDG-PET/CT (5.18 MBq/kg, max 370 MBq) after 60-minute individualized cold stimulation using a water-circulating cooling vest (Polar Products Arctic Chiller, starting 16°C).
Performed at baseline (V1) and 24 weeks (V7).
BAT activity quantified per BARCIST 1.0.
Hepatic proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and liver stiffness by MR elastography (MRE) using Siemens MAGNETOM Vida 3T.
