Study summary

This is an open-label observational crossover trial to study the efficacy of a commercial dietary supplement and its effect on common symptoms of IBS (such as bloating, gas, heartburn, and other symptoms).

Read the detailed description

It is hypothesized that the dietary supplement marketed as "Arrae Bloat" will improve subjective wellbeing in trial participants. It is further hypothesized that a second dietary supplement marketed as "Arrae Calm" will support the effects of "Arrae Bloat", while reducing stress, anxiety and panic and promoting restful sleep and easing tension in the body, which has previously been reported in customer feedback studies.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2021 to primary completion in Dec 2021, 3 months.

Of 52 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Irritable Bowel Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 28. This study's 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 357 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 38.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 19, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
