This is a Phase 1, First-in-Human study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of PYC-003 in healthy adult participants and adult participants with confirmed PKD1 mutation-associated Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) There are 4 parts in this study, i.e. Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D.
Part A (SAD - Healthy) will be conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, SAD study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and immunogenicity of PYC-003 in healthy adult participants.
The anticipated number of participants across 5 Part A (SAD - Healthy) cohorts is approximately 40 participants.
On Day 1, each participant will receive the investigational product (IP; ie, PYC-003 or placebo), as a single intravenous (IV) infusion.
Part B (SAD - ADPKD) will be conducted as an open-label single ascending dose (SAD) study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and immunogenicity of PYC-003 in adult participants with confirmed PKD1 mutation-associated ADPKD. The anticipated number of participants across 5 Part B (SAD - ADPKD) cohorts is approximately 30 participants. On Day 1, each participant will receive PYC-003 as a single IV infusion.
Part C (MAD-ADPKD) will be conducted as an open label multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and immunogenicity of PYC-003 in adult participants with confirmed PKD1 mutation-associated ADPKD. The anticipated number of participants across 4 Part C (MAD - ADPKD) cohorts is approximately 48-96 participants. Each participant will receive PYC-003 as an IV infusion either once every 6 weeks for 13 weeks or once every 8 weeks for 17 weeks.
Part D will be an extension study for participants that complete Part C where participants will continue receiving doses for up to 96 weeks.

Note: A hypertensive participant is eligible if on a stable antihypertensive regimen for ≥ 28 days prior to first administration of IP and the blood pressure adequately controlled (per PI discretion) prior to first administration of IP.
Part D will be an extension study for participants that complete Part C.
Part A will be conducted as a randomized, double-blend, placebo-controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study in healthy adult participants. On Day 1, each participant will receive the investigational product (IP; i.e., PYC-003 or placebo), as a single intravenous (IV) infusion. All Part A (SAD - Healthy) cohorts will first dose 2 sentinel participants in a blinded manner on Day 1.

Drug: PYC-003
Part C (MAD - ADPKD) will be conducted as an open-label MAD study in adult participants with confirmed PKD1 mutation-associated ADPKD. Each participant will receive PYC-003 as an IV infusion either once every 6 weeks for 13 weeks (i.e., dosing on Day 1, Day 43, and Day 85) or once every 8 weeks for 17 weeks (i.e., dosing on Day 1, Day 57, and Day 113).

[Part A, B, C and D] Number of participants experiencing treatment emergent adverse events (AE) as assessed by CTCAE V5.0
The incidence, severity, and relatedness of treatment emergent adverse events and treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events will be recorded An AE is any event, side-effect, or other untoward medical occurrence that occurs in conjunction with the use of a medicinal product in humans, whether or not considered to have a causal relationship to this treatment. An AE can, therefore, be any unfavourable and unintended sign (that could include a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
