I think agile is perfect for research and development projects also for Drug Industry.
I would bet all drug companies do R&D with kind of agile.

If there is a lot of prototyping and changes of direction to follow perspective results - this is for agile:)

Agile is not about to use a method/framework. Agile is about to create agile enterprise architectures. I worked leading the implementation of agile in one of the greatest drug companies in the world in 2002. Just to comment, is a difference between Lean and Agile. Most of the drug companies use Lean in the same way other companies use it in their manufacturing process.

That's a very curios question, yes, drug development organizations use agile. I also worked in manufacturing plants that we merged agile with lean.

I believe that combining Agile and Lean Six Sigma is a continuation of the constant research of proving the best value to the customers.

However, bear in mind that some process you can't iterate (if you are thinking about agile as an iterative process), example, once you compile all information for regulatory review (FDA), you need to do it step by step.
