1. A method for treating human patient suffering from leukemia with crenolanib, where the leukemia is characterized by one or more deregulated FLT3 receptors, or one or more constitutively active FLT3 receptors, and one or more driver mutations in a DNMT3A gene, the method comprising:
first, obtaining a biological sample from a human patient's leukemia;
then assaying the biological sample for expression of the deregulated FLT3 receptor or the constitutively active FLT3 receptor, and expression of one or more driver mutations in the DNMT3A gene;
then determining that the human patient has a poor prognosis of leukemia based on the detection of the deregulated FLT3 receptor or the constitutively active FLT3 receptor, and the presence of the one or more driver mutations in the DNMT3A gene; and
then administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of crenolanib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, thereby treating the leukemia which has both the deregulated FLT3 receptor or the constitutively active FLT3 receptor and the one or more driver mutations in the DNMT3A gene.
