The FP7 funded project EXTraS (Exploring the X-ray Transient and variable Sky) is an international project led by INAF, aimed to characterize the soft X-ray variability of all the sources detected in the whole archive of the XMM-Newton mission, and to look in this archive for new transient sources. During the feasibility study, a transient was detected from ISO-Oph 85, a young stellar object (YSO) supposed to be in a very early evolutionary stage and, so, very little active in X-rays. An X-ray time resolved and spectral analysis was performed. Infrared data were also analysed in order to establish the evolutionary stage of ISO-Oph 85. Here we present the obtained results. An insight into the opportunities given by EXTraS for the research in the YSOs field is also provided.
