A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Multi-Center Study of Sodium Hyaluronate to provide Symptomatic Relief of Lateral Epicondylosis (Tennis Elbow).
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of two weekly peri-osteotendinous injections of OVT for relief of pain in patients with lateral epicondylosis in a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled superiority study. A total of 186 subjects will be enrolled at up to 20 centers in the US and Europe. The randomization ratio will be 2:1 (2 OVT subjects: 1 placebo subject). The entire study duration from first subject in to last subject out is approximately one year. The enrollment phase is approximately 6 months with a follow-up phase of 6 months. Visits are scheduled at baseline, 1 week, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, and 26 weeks. Study injections will be given at the baseline and 1 week visits.

A Peri-osteotendinous injection of OVT will be administered into the soft tissue 1 cm from the lateral epicondyle at the point of greatest pain in two planes using a fanning technique. Two injections will be performed with a 22-25 gauge needle and spaced one week apart.

Change from baseline in elbow pain after grip as measured by a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 12 weeks comparing the OVT group to the saline control group
Pain After Grip score was determined by asking the subject "How much pain do you have in your STUDY elbow right now?" and recording their response by placing a mark along a 100mm VAS scale with 0mm=no pain and 100mm=extreme pain. A negative value for change from baseline indicated a reduction in pain. A greater negative value indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: 12 weeks post injection
The change from baseline in elbow pain after grip as measured by a 100 mm VAS at 4, 18, and 26 weeks comparing the OVT group to the saline control group
Pain After Grip score was determined by asking the subject "How much pain do you have in your STUDY elbow right now?" and recording their response by placing a mark along a 100mm VAS scale with 0mm=no pain and 100mm=extreme pain. A negative value for change from baseline indicated a reduction in pain. A greater negative value indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: 4, 18, 26 weeks post-injection

Pain After Grip score was determined by asking the subject "How much pain do you have in your STUDY elbow right now?" and recording their response by placing a mark along a 100mm VAS scale with 0mm=no pain and 100mm=extreme pain. A negative value for change from baseline indicated a reduction in pain. A greater negative value indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: 26 weeks post-injection
The change from baseline in elbow pain at rest as measured by a 100 mm VAS through 4-26 weeks using a longitudinal model comparing the OVT group to the saline control group
Pain After Grip score was determined by asking the subject "How much pain do you have in your STUDY elbow right now?" and recording their response by placing a mark along a 100mm VAS scale with 0mm=no pain and 100mm=extreme pain.
