1. A synthetic oncolytic virus, comprising:
(i) a lipid nanoparticle comprising N1,N3,N5-tris(3-(didodecylamino)propyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (TT3); and
(ii) a self-amplifying replicon RNA comprising a sequence that encodes an interleukin (IL)-12 molecule;
and
wherein the IL-12 molecule is expressed by the self-amplifying replicon RNA.
