Abstrakt: Hyper progressive disease (HPD) is a paradoxical phenomenon characterized by accelerated tumor growth following treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, the pathogenic causality and its predictor remain unknown. We herein report a fatal case of HPD in a 50-year-old man with metastatic bladder cancer. He had achieved a complete response (CR) through chemoradiation therapy followed by twelve cycles of chemotherapy, maintaining CR for 24 months. Three weeks after initiating maintenance use of a PD-L1 inhibitor, avelumab, a massive amount of metastases developed, leading to the patient's demise. Omics analysis, utilizing metastatic tissues obtained from an immediate autopsy, implied the contribution of M2 macrophages, TGF-β signaling, and interleukin-8 to HPD pathogenesis.
