      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization of patients will be conducted using R-CRAN software version 4.2.2. The process involves creating random blocks that are stratified based on two variables: the history of previous biologic failure (yes/no) JAK inhibitors failure (yes/no). Blocks of sizes 2 and 4 will be used for a total of 146 patients, maintaining a ratio of 1:1. For each combination of these variables, a random list containing various combinations of 2 or 4 blocks will be generated, and the randomization process will occur centrally. Each patient will be assigned to one of these combinations upon entering the study. Once assigned, the patient will contact the unit responsible for randomization, which will use the relevant random list to allocate them to a specific drug group.After randomization is complete, each patient will receive a unique identification code for the duration of the study. This code will consist of 4 letters (the first two letters of the first name followed by the first two letters of the last name), three numbers representing the center code, three letters corresponding to the generic drug name (GSK), and three digits for the randomization code. For example, a patient code could look like ABCD001GSK-001. Randomization numbers will be assigned sequentially, Blinding description: Both guselkumab drugs under study were unrecognizable to patients and the relevant medical staff because they are completely similar in terms of shape, size, gender, and color, and it is not possible to distinguish the brand of drugs from their appearance. The drug container of both guselkumab drugs is placed in the same type of packaging, so that they are not distinguishable in appearance.
The group of patients and the type of medicine they received will not be disclosed to the researchers. After ensuring the eligibility of the patient and signing the informed consent form, according to the main randomization sheet of the trial, the patients are placed in a specific treatment group. (The original trial randomization sheet remains in the CRO of the trial, and after checking the eligibility criteria, the randomization code is announced to the prescriber by phone call.)
The randomization will not be disclosed to the study administrators and is located in the coded envelopes with the trial CRO representative. The people who review the results and analyze the data are not aware of the type of patient grouping.</study_design>
