Resumo(s)
O presente documento encontra-se inserido no contexto de conclusão do Mestrado em Análises Clínicas da Faculdade de Farmácia da Universidade de Lisboa, sendo composto por duas partes.
A primeira parte refere-se ao relatório de estágio, no qual são abordadas as diferentes atividades acompa- nhadas e desenvolvidas durante o período de estágio, que foi realizado no Laboratório de Análises Clínicas e Diagnósticos Médicos - SYNLAB. O estágio laboratorial totalizou 865 horas, divididos pelas valências de Microbiologia, Hematologia, Fase Pré-analítica, Imunologia e Biologia Molecular. Nesse âmbito, são abordadas a rotina do laboratório, técnicas desenvolvidas, incluindo fundamentos, interpretação, significado clínico e controlo de qualidade.
A segunda parte diz respeito à monografia nomeada Terapêutica com células CAR-T: Novas Aplicações Terapêuticas em Doenças Hematológicas. A terapia com células CAR-T é uma forma avançada de imu- noterapia que baseia-se na modificação genética de linfócitos T, resultando na expressão de um recetor de antigénio quimérico (CAR), capaz de reconhecer antigénios específicos na superfície das células-alvo. Atu- almente seis terapias com células CAR-T, com alvos para CD-19 e BCMA, já foram aprovadas pela FDA e EMA, nomeadamente para algumas doenças como Linfoma não-Hodking, mieloma múltiplo e leucemia linfoblástica aguda de células B. Apesar dos excelentes resultados, vários desafios limitam a eficácia e se- gurança da terapia, no entanto, o campo da investigação em células CAR-T está em constante evolução em busca de novos alvos terapêuticos, e também na otimização da sua segurança e eficácia.
This document is part of the conclusion of the Master’s Degree in Clinical Analysis at the Faculty of Phar- macy of the University of Lisbon, and consists of two chapters. The first part refers to the internship report, which describes the multiple activities conducted during the internship period at Clinical Trials and Medical Diagnosis Laboratory - SYNLAB. The internship lasted 865 hours, distributed between Microbiology, Hematology, Pre-analytical Phase, Immunology and Molecular Biology. Some of the topics covered include laboratory routine and developed techniques - principles, interpretation, clinical value and quality control. The second part concerns the thesis entitled "CAR-T Cell Therapy: New Therapeutic Applications in He- matological Diseases". CAR-T cell therapy is an advanced form of immunotherapy and is based on the genetic modification of T lymphocytes, resulting in the expression of a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), capable of recognizing specific antigens on the surface of target cells. Currently, six CAR-T cell therapies targeting CD-19 and BCMA, have already been approved by the FDA and EMA for some diseases such as non-Hodking lymphoma, multiple myeloma and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Despite the excellent results, a number of challenges limit the efficacy and safety of the therapy. However, the field of CAR-T cell research is constantly evolving in search of new therapeutic targets as well as in optimizing safety and efficacy.
