Key Points Question Are serological biomarkers associated with response to immune checkpoint blockade in patients with hyperprogressive metastatic gastrointestinal tract cancer? Findings In this cohort study including 56 patients, baseline serum levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1, leukocyte inhibition factor, and cluster of differentiation 152 were associated with hyperprogressive metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. Early changes in serum interleukin 1 receptor antagonist levels were associated with response to immune checkpoint blockade in patients with metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and colorectal cancer, and early changes in brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels were associated with response in patients with gastric cancer. Meaning A panel of serological biomarkers may help oncologists identify patients with hyperprogressive disease before immune checkpoint blockade therapy and predict immune checkpoint blockade responses at an early stage, thereby providing an opportunity for early intervention.
