You may use something similar to org-quick-peek--get-entry-text from
org-quick-peek package (https://github.com/alphapapa/org-quick-peek):

(cl-defun org-quick-peek--get-entry-text (marker &key keep-drawers keep-planning)
  "Return Org entry text from node at MARKER.
If KEEP-DRAWERS is non-nil, drawers will be kept, otherwise
removed."
  ;; Modeled after `org-agenda-get-some-entry-text'
  (let (text)
    (with-current-buffer (marker-buffer marker)
      ;; Get raw entry text
      (org-with-wide-buffer
       (goto-char marker)
       ;; Skip heading
       (end-of-line 1)
       ;; Get entry text
       (setq text (buffer-substring
                   (point)
                   (or (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))
                       (point-max))))))
    (with-temp-buffer
      (org-mode)
      (insert text)
      (unless keep-drawers
        (goto-char (point-min))
        (while (re-search-forward org-drawer-regexp nil t)
          ;; Remove drawers
          (delete-region (match-beginning 0)
                         (progn (re-search-forward
                                 "^[ \t]*:END:.*\n?" nil 'move)
                                (point)))))
      (unless keep-planning
        (goto-char (point-min))
        (while (re-search-forward org-planning-line-re nil t)
          ;; Remove planning line
          (kill-whole-line)))
      (setq text (buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max))))
    (-reduce-r #'funcall (reverse (cons text (cons #'identity org-quick-peek-filter-functions))))))
