Abstract

The present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I) a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a stereoisomer, or a tautomer thereof, for use in, e.g. treating a condition, disease or disorder in which increased (e.g., excessive) STING activation (e.g., STING signaling) contributes to the pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the condition, disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) in a subject (e.g., a human). This disclosure also features compositions containing the same as well as methods of using and making the same.
