Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a drug containing a compound having an agonistic activity to STING as an active ingredient. As a result of intensive studies by the inventors of the present invention, the compound represented by the following general formula (I-1) [in the formula, all symbols represent the same meanings as described in the present specification.] or the like, having the agonistic activity to STING, as a substance capable of solving such objects, and this invention was completed. Since the compound represented by the general formula (I-1) or the like of the present invention has the agonistic activity to STING, it can be used as an active ingredient of an agent for suppressing the progression of, suppressing the recurrence of and/or treating cancer or infectious disease.

Abstract: A prescription capable of avoiding induction of inflammatory cytokine production caused by a STING agonistic compound in a cancer patient, when suppressing the progression of, suppressing the recurrence of and/or treating cancer by the STING agonistic compound, is provided. A prescription that a STING agonistic compound is administered in combination with an adrenal corticosteroid when suppressing the progression of, suppressing the recurrence of and/or treating cancer. Methods for avoiding an induction of inflammatory cytokine production by administering the prescription in combination with an adrenal corticosteroid when administering a STING agonistic compound at reduced dosage in combination with an anti-neoplastic agent.
