A software failure during filling of this batch has potentially resulted in the evaporation of Ethanol from a small number of vials and a consequent increase in the concentration of Docetaxel in the solution. The total amount of Docetaxel per vial is not impacted. The incidence rate for the 4ml presentation is estimated to be about 0.09%
