Dear Pharma_88,

You are referring to a general FDA guidance, which gives general recommendations. Did they publish a product-specific guidance for your product ? It would overrule the general guidance.

The type of study to be performed depends on how the drug is normally used according to its labelling. For instance:

if the drug is to be taken continuously (e.g. a kinase inhibitor taken orally): you will indeed have to do a steady-state study;
if the drug is given only on Day 1 of each cycle: well, you're not going to give it every day till steady state, it would kill the patient. In such a case you would do a single-dose study. See e.g. the doxorubicin (liposomal) draft guidance.
