two-group
Explanation:
I know, it seems to be "chic" today to use arm instead of (treatment or study) group, but I continue to emphasize this "altmodisch deutsche" way of saying it:

Two refs:
http://www.imagopaque.com/safty/safety_ref.shtml
(s. no. 8 of the references)

http://www.cochrane-net.org/openlearning/HTML/modA1-3.htm
(--> two-group trial)

There are thousands similar refs, just compare the two versions here:

(However, I to not mean that two-arm trial is wrong, it is not, of course.)
