Oncolytic viral vectors that incorporate one or more of the following features: viral replication restriction by insertion of microRNA (miRNA) target sequences into the viral genome; disruption of oncogenic miRNA function; cancer microenvironment remodeling; and cancer cell targeting by incorporation of protease-activated antibodies into the viral particle. Such viral vectors can be used for the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Provided is a composition for treating tumors in a subject comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an exosome carrying CTLA4-targeting miRNA and a therapeutically effective amount of an oncolytic herpes simplex virus expressing an immunostimulatory agent or both an immunostimulatory agent and an anti-PD-1 antibody. Wherein an exo-motif operably links to the seed sequence of the CTLA4-targeting miRNA to enhance the packaging of the CTLA4-targeting miRNA into the exosome.
