Summary

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus, sirolimus, antithymocyte globulin, and methotrexate before and after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sirolimus, tacrolimus, and antithymocyte globulin work in preventing graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematological cancer .

Eligibility Criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Diagnosis of hematological malignancy including any of the following:
  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in any complete remission (CR) or partial response (PR)
  • Hodgkin lymphoma in any CR or PR
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in any CR

  • Must be planning to receive 1 of the following conditioning regimens at City of Hope:
  • Fludarabine phosphate and melphalan for patients with hematological malignancies and contraindications for conventional myeloablative regimens due to age, co-morbidity, or previous transplant
  • Fractionated total-body irradiation (FTBI) and etoposide for patients with AML and ALL or CML in accelerated phase
  • FTBI and cyclophosphamide for patients with NHL, AML, CML, and MDS

  • HLA-matched or mismatched
  • Peripheral blood stem cells available
  • No bone marrow or ex vivo-engineered or processed graft (e.g., CD34-positive, T-cell depletion)
  • No uncontrolled CNS disease

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
