      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: An online system (site) will be designed for this study and implemented on the servers of the Gastroenterology and Liver Research Institute. After reviewing the entry criteria and obtaining informed consent, this system will include patient information and assigning drug package codes. Each physician participating in this project can log in to the site using his or her own code and enter patient information. This system will automatically notify the physician of the specific package number for each patient only after the final registration of the first form of the patient questionnaire.
Patients will be assigned to three treatment regimens in a ratio of 1:1:1 and based on a randomized block method with a block size of 6. The randomization of this study will be designed using R software by an individual independent of the executive team. The generated random sequence will be stored centrally and secretly at the central study site.
All medications will be prepared in sealed and coded packages and delivered to the centers. These packages are standardized in terms of appearance, size, color, and shape so that there is no distinction between the packages. In the allocation process, the doctor only receives the package number from the system and delivers the package to the patient without knowing the contents inside. In each package, the method of taking the drugs in the package will be fully mentioned along with the necessary explanations and possible side effects of the drugs. Also, contact numbers will be provided for the patients of the plan to communicate with the treating physician and the central study and consultation team regarding the drugs and their side effects.</study_design>
