http://www.biobanque-picardie.com/index_En.php

A secure repository of biological samples and data dedicated for medical and research purposes. These biological samples are linked to consenting patient relative data. Biobanque de Picardie provides quality and traceability services for establishment, conservation and use of biological samples collections. It houses collections of human tissue in a variety of areas of disease. Samples are used in basic research and translational studies, physiopathology of diseases and identification of new diagnostic, and as prognostic or therapeutic biomarkers. Biobanque de Picardie also develops healthy or pathological human primary stem cell banks, such as: mesenchymal stem cells in umbilical cord (HUC-MSC), primary hepatocytes (HPH), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and fibroblasts. Biological samples are stored at - 80 degrees C in electric freezers, at - 196 degrees C in liquid nitrogen or -130 degrees C in nitrogen vapor.

Nationwide, randomized, double blind, multi-center research study to determine whether the drug salsalate, a member of the commonly used Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) class, is effective in lowering sugars in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study is conducted in two stages. The primary objective of the first stage is to select a dose of salsalate that is both well-tolerated and demonstrates a trend toward improvement in glycemic control. The primary objective of Stage 2 of the study is to evaluate the effects of salsalate on blood sugar control in diabetes; the tolerability of salsalate use in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D); and the effects of salsalate on measures of inflammation, the metabolic syndrome, and cardiac risk.
