      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be allocated into two groups using a permuted balanced block randomization method with the size of blocks 4 and 6. Random sequence will be generated by an epidemiologist by running an online program in sealed envelope website (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/). Concealment is also guaranteed due to the use of permuted balanced block randomization method.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The group that receives Jadenu. Jadenu is part of the drug class deferasirox .  33 people are being treated with Deferasirox (Jadenu®) for 6 months. This drug will be given as a swallowable tablet at a dose of 20 mg / kg per day (once a day, daily for 6 months, by Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland) to patients in this group. we start the treatment with the dose of 20 mg / kg and increase the dose to 40 mg / kg if needed. Intervention 2: Control group: The group that receives Exjade. Exjade is part of the drug class deferasirox. 33 people are being treated with Exjade for 6 months. It is given as a granule tablet at a dose of 20 mg / kg per day (once a day, daily for six months, by Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland). Start treatment with a dose of 20 mg / kg and increase the dose to 40 mg / kg if needed.</i_freetext>
