Sample size
Target sample size: 32
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The patients will be divided into two groups using a permuted random blocking method of a size of 4, creating a randomization table by Random Allocation Software version ۱.۰.۰ . Moreover, dark envelopes will be used for random allocation concealment.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Because the intervention cannot be masked (due to the dissimilarity of the drugs upadacitinib and hydroxychloroquine), blinding is not possible for the patient. Given the type of intervention, it is preferable that one of the investigators in the study be blind to assess the side effects of the case group (especially in the upadacitinib group). Therefore, the attending supervisor will be the patient's care provider and is not blind, but the investigator, outcome assessor (who does not know the type of drug the patients are taking, and the study is conducted as a blind outcome assessor).
