Dataset used in distribution- based method
 Comer et al. [10] 12 heroin-dependent men Single dose of sustained-release depot NTX 192 mg or 384 mg followed by heroin 0, 6.25, 12.5, 18.75, and 25 mg IV once per week for 6 weeks VAS Drug High score 0–100 mm with 25 mg heroin Determination of CIDDose and CIDWeek1–4
Dataset used in anchor-based approach
Studies used to provide anchors for determining CID
 Comer et al. [11] 60 heroin-dependent adults Sustained-release depot NTX 192 mg or 384 mg at Week 1 and Week 5 Retention rates Evaluation of retention rate as anchor for Comer et al. [10] drug high CIDDose
 Sullivan et al. [12] 5 heroin-dependent adults Sustained-release depot NTX 384 mg at Week 1 plus doses of 0, 6.25, 12.5, 18.75, and 25 mg heroin IV for 6 weeks; each week, subjects received 1 of 4 heroin doses or placebo on any given day Heroin self- administration (mean heroin break point) Evaluation of heroin self- administration rates at Week 4 versus Week 1 as anchor for Comer et al. [10] drug high CIDWeek1–4

CID clinically important difference, NTX naltrexone, VAS visual analog scale, MS morphine sulphate, IV intravenous, PO by mouth, IRMS immediate-release morphine sulphate
