Spanish term or phrase: un modelo
Millones de personas han pagado con sus vidas el tiempo perdido por un modelo de I+ D que sólo atiende a beneficios comerciales.

Dictionaries all come up with "model". Can I put "drug"?

English translation:model
Explanation:
I really don't think you should put "drug". Model fits perfectly here. They are talking about the R&D model of the company, which focuses only on commercial profit. Alternatively you could put "strategy", but model is really the best option.

model


Explanation:
I see "I+D" (research and development) appears in the text, so "model" would seem a coherent choice. One could use "drug" if it were necessary to over simplify the text

Example sentence(s):
  • Taxation model, model of social reform, social welfare model

drug R&D (model)


Explanation:
You could add "drug" BEFORE "R&D" if you like, if the context shows that is what is meant.
However, I think it would be better as "drug R&D model", as the sentence seems to be talking about a particular model/type/class of drug R&D, and the term most often appears with some kind of noun after (strategy, investment, plans, costs...).
