Detailed Description
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.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female between 18 and 65 years of age
Clinical diagnosis of unilateral lateral epicondylosis defined as:
- Pain reproducible on palpation of the lateral epicondyle / common extensor origin; and
- Pain reproducible during resisted wrist extension
- Subject is symptomatic for at least 6 weeks
- Subject has pain in the index lateral epicondyle after grip strength testing that measures ≥ 40 mm on a 100 mm VAS
- Subject must be willing to abstain from other pharmacological and surgical treatments of the index elbow for the duration of the study
- Subject is willing to discontinue all systemic and/or topical analgesics including NSAIDs, (except the rescue medication oral acetaminophen/paracetamol), for the treatment of lateral epicondylosis at least seven days before the initial treatment injection and through the completion of the study
- If pain medication is needed during the study, subject is willing to use only acetaminophen/paracetamol (up to a maximum of 3.0 grams per day per the package insert) for the treatment of elbow pain for the duration of the study
- At least twenty four hours prior to the Baseline Visit and each follow-up visit, the subject must discontinue use of acetaminophen/paracetamol, if used
- Subject is able to understand and comply with the requirements of the study and voluntarily provides consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in the hyaluronan or an inability to tolerate acetaminophen/paracetamol
- Subjects in which the investigator believes the anatomical landmarks for injection are unable to be adequately identified
- Subjects who have a history of surgery to the intra-articular joint of the index elbow and/or history of index elbow dislocation
- Any diagnosed pathology or trauma that causes pain or symptoms in the index elbow other than lateral epicondylosis (e.g. intra-articular pathology, ligament injury, cervical radiculopathy, radial tunnel syndrome, osteochondral radiocapitellar lesion or posterolateral elbow plica, pain starting after a motor vehicle accident)
- Hyaluronic acid injections in the index elbow within the last 6 months
- Steroid injections in the index elbow within the last 3 months
- Infections or skin diseases in the area of the injection site or elbow joint
- Known inflammatory or autoimmune disorders, or other pre-existing medical conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, could impact healing or affect the ability of the subject to complete the study and comply with the study requirements
- Subject is taking medications at the time of consent which could interfere with the treatment procedure, healing and/or assessments. This includes but is not limited to oral or injectable anticoagulant treatments, anti-aggregant platelet treatment and opioid analgesics. Low dose aspirin (81 mg) used for cardiovascular protection is allowed if a stable regimen is maintained for the duration of the study.
- Subject is receiving or in litigation for worker's compensation
- Subject is a woman who is pregnant or breastfeeding at the screening visit or a woman of child bearing potential who refuses to use effective contraception during the course of the study
- Subject was involved in any other research study involving an investigational product, or a new application of an approved product, within 60 days of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF)

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: OVT (Sodium Hyaluronate)
Sodium hyaluronate is supplied as a 2 mL unit dose in a 3 mL glass syringe.
|
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.
|
PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Saline
0.9% sterile saline is supplied as a 2 mL unit dose in a 3 mL glass syringe.
|
A Peri-osteotendinous injection of sterile saline 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.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
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
Time Frame: 12 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.
