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))))))
