• Age ≥18 years
• ECOG PS 0 - 2
• Adequate liver function, defined as normal total bilirubin, ALT ≤2.0x ULN, and AST ≤2.0x ULN measured within 24 hours prior to crenolanib commencement
• Adequate renal function, defined as serum creatinine ≤1.5x ULN or GFR >50 mL/min
• Negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)

• Women considered not of childbearing potential include any of the following: no menses for at least 2 years or menses within 2 years but amenorrheic for at least 2 months and luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) values within normal range (according to definition of postmenopausal for laboratory used) or bilateral oophorectomy or radiation castration and amenorrheic for at least 3 months or with bilateral tubal ligation
