Treatment: Drugs - sirolimus
Treatment: Other - total body irradiation

Experimental: Tacro-MTX/Sirolimus GVHD Prophylaxis Regimen - Preparative regimen of total body irradiation (TBI) 200 cGy BID days -8,-7, \& -6, Thiotepa IV (dose 5 mg/kg/day on days -5 \& -4) \& cyclophosphamide IV (dose 60 mg/kg/day on days -3 \& -2). Tacrolimus IV (dose 0.02 mg/kg/day) continuously or orally daily on day -2 with a taper starting on day 42 - day 98 (patients undergoing matched sibling donor transplantation) OR tacrolimus IV (dose 0.02 mg/kg/day) continuously or orally daily beginning on day -2 followed by a taper on day 100 through day 180 (patients undergoing other related, unrelated, or cord blood donor transplantation) in the absence of GVHD. Patients also receive methotrexate IV (5 mg/m2/dose) on days 1,3, \& 6 (patients with matched sibling and umbilical cord blood donors) OR days 1,3 6, \& 11 (patients with other related/unrelated bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell donors) and oral sirolimus (dose 2.5mg/m2/day - 4 mg max starting dose) daily starting on day 0 followed by a taper starting on day 180 through day 207.

Active comparator: Tacro-MTX GVHD Prophylaxis - Preparative regimen of total body irradiation (TBI) 200 cGy BID days -8,-7, \& -6, Thiotepa IV (dose 5 mg/kg/day on days -5 \& -4) \& cyclophosphamide IV (dose 60 mg/kg/day on days -3 \& -2). Tacrolimus IV (dose 0.02 mg/kg/day) continuously or orally (when able) daily on day -2 with a taper starting on day 42 - day 98 (patients undergoing matched sibling donor transplantation) OR tacrolimus IV (dose 0.02 mg/kg/day) continuously or orally daily beginning on day -2 followed by a taper on day 100 through day 180 (patients undergoing other related, unrelated, or cord blood donor transplantation) in the absence of GVHD. Patients also receive methotrexate IV (5 mg/m2/dose) on days 1,3, \& 6 (patients with matched sibling and umbilical cord blood donors) OR days 1,3 6, \& 11 (patients with other related/unrelated bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell donors).

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in second complete remission (CR2) (M1 bone marrow, < 5% blasts by morphology) meeting the following criteria:

* Intermediate risk relapsed ALL in CR2 (may receive matched sibling transplantation only) meeting 1 of the following criteria:

* B-lineage ALL in CR2 after a late first bone marrow (BM) relapse (= 36 months after the initiation of primary chemotherapy) with or without associated extramedullary disease
* B-lineage ALL in CR2 after a very early isolated extramedullary relapse (<18 months from the initiation of primary chemotherapy)
* High risk relapsed ALL in CR2 (may receive other related donor, unrelated donor, or matched sibling transplantation) meeting 1 of the following criteria:

* In CR2 after an early first BM relapse (< 36 months from initiation of primary chemotherapy)
* T-lineage ALL in CR2 after a first BM relapse occurring at any time after initiation of primary chemotherapy
* Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL in CR2 after a first BM relapse occurring at any time after the initiation of primary chemotherapy
* T-lineage ALL in CR2 after a very early isolated extramedullary relapse (<18 months from the initiation of primary chemotherapy)
* High risk de novo ALL in CR1 (may receive matched sibling, other related/unrelated BM/PBSC or unrelated CB transplantation) meeting 1 of the following criteria:

* Patients with the presence of t(9;22) translocation (Ph+) detected by cytogenetic or PCR analysis at initial diagnosis. For patients on AALL0622, the criteria for transplant are 1) any patient with Ph+ ALL with an available matched sibling donor or 2) any patient with Ph+ ALL that is defined as high risk (MRD > 1% Day 29 or MRD > 0.01% end-Consolidation Block 2) with any available donor, related or unrelated. Patients enrolled on AALL0622 are only eligible if they follow this algorithm.
* Patients with the presence of extreme hypodiploidy (< 44 chromosomes or DNA index of < 0.81) detected by cytogenetic/ploidy analysis at initial diagnosis.
* Patients with the presence of 11q23 (MLL) rearrangements detected by cytogenetic or PCR analysis at initial diagnosis who are slow early responders (M2/M3 at Day 14 or MRD > 0.1% at Day 29).
* Enrolled on an appropriate COG relapsed ALL clinical trial after completing the required study therapy (i.e., minimum 1 re-induction course (4-6 weeks) and 1 round of intensive consolidation chemotherapy (3-6 weeks). Patients with high risk ALL in CR1 are eligible as soon as they have achieved a CR.

* Patients not on a COG relapsed ALL clinical trial are eligible provided they have received = 1 round of re-induction lasting 4-6 weeks and 1 round of intensive consolidation chemotherapy lasting 3-6 weeks
* No B-cell ALL L3 morphology with evidence of myc translocation by molecular or cytogenetic technique
* No Down syndrome
* No evidence of active CNS or other extramedullary disease (i.e., no CNS2)
* Karnofsky performance status (PS) 60-100% (for patients > 16 years of age) OR Lansky PS 60-100% (for patients = 16 years of age)
* Shortening fraction = 27% by echocardiogram OR ejection fraction = 50% by radionuclide angiogram
* ALT or AST < 5 times upper limit of normal
* Bilirubin < 2.5 mg/dL (unless an increase is attributable to Gilbert's syndrome)
* Creatinine clearance OR radioisotope glomerular filtration rate = 70 mL/min
* FEV_1 = 60% by pulmonary function tests (PFTs)
* FVC = 60% by PFTs
* DLCO = 60% by PFTs
* For children who are unable to cooperate for PFTs all of the following criteria must be met:

* No evidence of dyspnea at rest
* No exercise intolerance
* No requirement for supplemental oxygen therapy
* Not pregnant or nursing
* Negative pregnancy test
* Fertile patients must use effective contraception
* No HIV or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial, or viral infection

* Fungal infection acquired during induction therapy allowed provided there is a significant response to antifungal therapy with minimal or no evidence of disease by CT scan
* Other concurrent immunosuppressants allowed
* No prior allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplantation
* No prior or concurrent voriconazole unless prior voriconazole therapy is completed or a different agent is substituted for voriconazole prior to study entry
* No concurrent grapefruit juice during sirolimus administration
