简要总结
This study evaluates whether a Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) can help to preserve appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) in adults undergoing weight loss treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists or dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists. Participants will receive the FSMP or a matching placebo for 24 weeks while continuing standard GLP-1-based therapy. ASMM will be measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA).
详细描述
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigates whether a Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) can help preserve appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) in adults undergoing weight loss treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists or dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Eligible participants are adults with obesity or overweight with comorbidities who are initiating GLP-1-based therapy as part of standard clinical management. Participants are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the FSMP or a matching placebo for 24 weeks, in addition to their ongoing GLP-1 RA or dual GIP/GLP-1 RA therapy. Study visits occur at baseline, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 24 weeks.
This trial aims to determine whether targeted nutritional support can mitigate the loss of lean mass commonly observed during pharmacologically assisted weight loss, thereby improving functional outcomes and overall patient well-being.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass (ASMM)
时间窗: Baseline, Week 8, Week 16, Week 24
ASMM will be assessed using Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA). The primary endpoint is the change in ASMM from baseline to Week 24 to determine whether the Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) preserves skeletal muscle mass compared with placebo.
