Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Severity of striae distensae measured using clinical grading of striae distensae by investigator based on the INA scale. The assessment will include the evaluation of overall severity over time based on a standardized scoring system. Assessment will be done intra participant, comparing to each participant’s baseline. Prevention will be assessed through occurrence/progression of new striae and worsening of existing ones. Measured at the baseline visit, at 25th or 26th week of pregnancy, at 33rd or 34th week of pregnancy, and end of study visit after delivery for pregnant women; and at D0, week 4, week 8 and week 12 for rapid weight fluctuations participants;Skin color measured using Chromameter® at the baseline visit, at 25th or 26th week of pregnancy, at 33rd or 34th week of pregnancy, and end of study visit after delivery for pregnant women; and at D0, week 4, week 8 and week 12 for rapid weight fluctuations participants;Skin hydration measured using Corneometer® at the baseline visit, at 25th or 26th week of pregnancy, at 33rd or 34th week of pregnancy, and end of study visit after delivery for pregnant women; and at D0, week 4, week 8 and week 12 for rapid weight fluctuations participants;Skin elasticity/firmness measured using Cutometer® at the baseline visit, at 25th or 26th week of pregnancy, at 33rd or 34th week of pregnancy, and end of study visit after delivery for pregnant women; and at D0, week 4, week 8 and week 12 for rapid weight fluctuations participants;Skin barrier status measured using Tewameter® at the baseline visit, at 25th or 26th week of pregnancy, at 33rd or 34th week of pregnancy, and end of study visit after delivery for pregnant women; and at D0, week 4, week 8 and week 12 for rapid weight fluctuations participants
