Subject: round the world clock experiment

Has there been any confirmation of the round the world clock experiment?

Specifically, an experiment is conducted in which one member of
a pair of identical clocks is sent on a round trip involving any
combination of accelerations and constant velocity travel,
while the other stays at home with unchanged conditions.

Has a difference in the elapsed time between the clocks upon return
of the traveling clock to the home frame been demonstrated?
