Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, and TEAEs Leading to Dose Interruption, Reduction, or Study Drug Discontinuation (Excluding Grade 5 Disease Progression)	An adverse event (AE) is any untoward, undesired, or unplanned event that does not need to be causally related to treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered SAEs when, based on appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition. Relatedness to study medication was graded as either, probably, possibly, unlikely, or unrelated. Events were categorized according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 1=mild, Grade 2=moderate, Grade 3=severe, Grade 4=life-threatening, Grade 5=death.	From the first dose of study drug up to 28 days post last dose. Median duration of telaglenastat treatment was 92 days and that for nivolumab treatment was 84 days.
Primary	Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Treatment-Emergent Values in Hematology, Serum Chemistry Panel, Vital Signs or Weight	Hematology assessments included: hemoglobin; hematocrit, red blood cell count, white blood cell count with differential, and platelet count. Serum chemistry panel included: sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, calcium, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, total protein, albumin, total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, thyroid stimulating hormone. Vital sign assessments included systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse (heart) rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and body weight.	From the first dose of study drug up to 28 days post last dose. Median duration of telaglenastat treatment was 92 days and that for nivolumab treatment was 84 days.
Primary	Overall Response Rate (ORR) Per Investigator Assessed Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1	ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. CR or PR was required to be sustained for 4 weeks when confirmation was reported.; CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm.; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.	up to a maximum of 2.8 years
Primary	Duration of Response (DOR) Per Investigator Assessed RECIST v1.1	DOR is defined as the time between the first documentation of a PR or a CR to the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death, whichever occurred first. DOR was censored at the date of last radiographic disease if the patient was alive and progression free at the time of database lock, PD, or death occurred after missing data for 2 consecutive radiographic disease assessments, or patient received non-protocol treatment prior to documentation of disease progression.; CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm.; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.; PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.	up to a maximum of 2.8 years
Secondary	Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Per RECIST v1.1	PFS was defined as time from the first dose date to the earlier of either PD per RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause. The duration of PFS was censored at the date of last radiographic disease if the patient was alive and progression-free at the time of analysis data cutoff, disease progression, or death occurred after missing data for 2 consecutive radiographic disease assessments, or patient received non-protocol treatment prior to documentation of disease progression.; - PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.	up to a maximum of 2.8 years
Secondary	Overall Survival	Overall survival was defined as the time from the first dose date to death due to any cause. For participants alive at time of analysis, overall survival was censored at the time when the participant was last known to be alive.	up to a maximum of 2.8 years
