Comparison of the initial stage and change in body weight according to change in the MBP SUV_mean

	MBP SUVmean change (Interim scan from baseline scan)				MBP SUVmean change (Final scan from baseline scan)
	Decrease ≥ 10 %	Within 90–110 % of baseline	Increase ≥ 10 %	p value a	Decrease ≥10 %	Within 90–110 % of baseline	Increase ≥ 10 %	p value a
