Summary

This study aimed to test a smartphone app called EQQUAL-NM, designed to help sexual and gender minority young adults (ages 18–30) in New Mexico quit smoking. The app used a culturally-tailored avatar to deliver support. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants enrolled, so no results are available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Smartphone app with avatar-led smoking cessation content
What this could lead to
If it had succeeded, this could have pointed toward a tailored digital tool to help SGM young adults quit smoking.
What could go wrong
The trial was withdrawn before any participants enrolled, so no data was collected. It is unknown whether the approach would have worked or been acceptable.

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Apr 2026

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
