In the study, parameters such as fasting and 2-hour glucose during OGTT, HbA1c, body fat mass, body weight, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL, triglycerides, HOMA-IR, Matsuda Index and liver steatosis will be assessed. All the patients will undergo genome-wide genotyping. Moreover, in a subset of participants, muscle and fat biopsies will be performed, before and after the treatment, and liver, muscle and pancreas fat content will be assessed using MRI.', 'detailedDescription': 'Each subject will participate in the following visits:\n\nVisit v1 (screening) - for each patient, fasting venous blood will be collected and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) will be performed - with blood samples taken 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after drinking the glucose solution. Fasting blood samples will be used to measure basic metabolic parameters (including glucose, lipid profile, HbA1c, AST, ALT, GGTP, electrolytes, blood count, the presence of antibodies against beta-cell antigens, TSH), and from blood collected at each time point during the OGTT glucose and insulin concentrations will be measured. Each patient will also undergo a detailed body composition analysis using bioimpedance and DXA. In addition, during the visit, each participant will receive a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM) and an accelerometer to measure physical activity for a period of 10-14 days.\n\nVisit v2 (14-30 days after v1)- during the visit, each patient will undergo a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), with blood samples taken 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes after eating the meal, along with a non-invasive measurement of resting energy expenditure (RMR). After the end of the test, the patient will receive semaglutide in two marked doses: 3 mg and 7 mg, along with instructions on how to take them and a diary in which the drug intake and occurrence of side effects will be recorded.\n\nVisit v3 - four weeks after starting the semaglutide treatment. During the visit, fasting venous blood will be collected to measure basic metabolic parameters. Each patient will undergo a detailed body composition analysis using bioimpedance and DXA. During the visit, patients will receive semaglutide in the dose of 14 mg, along with instructions on how to take them and a diary in which the drug intake and occurrence of side effects will be recorded.\n\nVisit v4 - twelve weeks after starting semaglutide treatment. Similar to visit 1 (OGTT).\n\nVisit v5 - twelve weeks after starting semaglutide treatment. Similar to visit 2 (MMTT).\n\nVisit v6 (follow-up visit) - after twelve weeks of ending the semaglutide treatment. Similar to visit 1 (OGTT).\n\nAdditionally, a random 20% of the study group will participate in additional visits:\n\nVisit A.1 (between visits v1 and v2), A.2 (+ 1-5 days from visit v5) and A.3 (+ 1-5 days from visit v6) - during the visit, biological material will be collected for each patient in the form of a biopsy of the vastus lateralis muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue.\n\nVisit B.1 (between visits v1 and v2), B.2 (+ 1-5 days from visit v5) and B.3 (+ 1-5 days from visit v6)- during the visit, patients will undergo an abdominal MRI scan to assess the steatosis of the liver, muscle and pancreas.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Informed consent was given before any study-related action on the subject.\n* Age: 18-65 years old\n* Body mass index (BMI) \\>30 kg/m2 or \\>27 kg/m2 when accompanied by prediabetes, diagnosed according to the criteria of the American Diabetes Association\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients diagnosed with a serious chronic disease, including:\n\n * Ischemic heart disease\n * Heart failure (NYHA class III-IV)\n * Severe renal insufficiency (eGFR \\<30 ml/min)\n * Severe liver diseases\n * Inflammatory bowel disease\n * Diabetic gastroparesis\n * Cancer - currently or in the last five years prior to screening\n * Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease\n * History of mental illness, major depression or other severe mental disorders\n* Use of any medications with clinically-proven significant weight gain or loss effects\n* History of undergoing bariatric surgery or other surgery involving the stomach that could affect the absorption of the study drug (according to the investigator's opinion)\n* History of idiopathic acute pancreatitis\n* A family or personal history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) or medullary thyroid cancer\n* For women - pregnancy, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy.\n* Women of childbearing age who are not using highly effective methods of contraception\n* Known or suspected hypersensitivity to the test product"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05340868', 'acronym': 'GAROS', 'briefTitle': 'Genetics of the Acute Response to Oral Semaglutide', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Medical University of Bialystok'}, 'officialTitle': 'Genetics of the Acute Response to Oral Semaglutide (GAROS)', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'APK.002.12.2022'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Semaglutide (oral)', 'description': 'In this study, each participant will receive a regimen of oral semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, for a duration of twelve weeks.
