Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin Thymoglobulin sirolimus Rapamune and mycophenolate mofetil Cellcept can help to prevent graft versus host disease GVHD The safety of this drug combination will also be studied

Primary Objective To determine efficacy and toxicity of a regimen of thymoglobulin sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil for prevention of acute GVHD after allogeneic stem cell transplantation from human leukocyte antigen HLA identical related or unrelated donors

Secondary Objective To assess engraftment chronic GVHD relapse and survival
Detailed Description: Rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin rATG sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil MMF are all designed to prevent GVHD

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study you will receive rATG through a needle in your vein over 3-4 hours on each of the 4 days before the stem cell transplant

Beginning 2 days before the transplant you will take sirolimus by mouth once per day You will continue to receive sirolimus until 90 days after the transplant Beginning on Day 60 you will start taking increasingly lower doses of the study drug This is done so you can taper down slowly and be off of the drug on Day 90

Beginning on the day of the transplant you will take MMF by mouth 2 times a day You will continue to take MMF until 27 days after the transplant

Every week for the first 90-100 days after the transplant you will have study visits At this visit you will have a physical exam Blood about 1-2 tablespoons will be drawn for routine tests

You will remain on study for up to 90 days after transplantation You will be taken off study if intolerable side effects occur

Starting on Day 90 after the transplant you will continue to follow up with your transplant doctor at least every 3 months through 1 year after the transplant During these visits you will have physical exams Blood about 1-2 tablespoons will be drawn for routine tests Your doctor may request additional testing

This is an investigational study RATG sirolimus and MMF are all FDA approved for their use in the transplantation of solid organs like kidney and liver All 3 drugs are commercially available This particular combination and dose schedule is considered investigational Up to 30 patients will take part in this study All will be enrolled at MD Anderson
