Which is the most appropriate design for a narrow therapeutic index drug with very high intra-subject variability?

For example, we have an immunosuppressive agent with an intra-subject CV% > 45%.
Using a standard two – way crossover design with acceptance interval tightened (90.00 – 111.11%), we will have a sample size of more than 300 subjects :-(.

It is possible to use a replicate design in this situation?

Thank you,
Jo
